- nextmoveone 19y agoSo, is that just sometime tomorrow?
- rms 19y agoFor two cycles ago, I got the interview invite at 23 Oct 2006 16:55:00. The rejection last cycle I got at 10 Apr 2007 21:05:49.
- pg 19y agoSometime tomorrow. Trevor and Robert haven't finished voting yet. Then we have to get together and argue about the borderline cases. We'll probably send out emails in the evening.
- nextmoveone 19y agoI appreciate the feedback, thanks!
- jonathan 19y agoThanks for such transparency.
- cperciva 19y agoSpeaking of arguing about borderline cases -- have there been instances where you (or other YC principals) have gone ahead and funded applicants personally when you haven't managed to convince everyone else that they deserve to be funded by YC? I suppose this is really a question about how much you're committed to doing things as a group -- if the YC process is anything like assessment processes I've been involved in (e.g., deciding who gets honourary degrees from my university) there must be instances where a minority thinks that an application is exceptional but can't convince other people of this.
- pg 19y agoNo, but more because the money is not the important part than because we feel like we always have to act as a group.
- cperciva 19y agoThanks -- I should have realized that while any one of you could fund an application which you liked, no one of you could provide all the other YC-related advantages without all the other YC principals agreeing.
- jyot_singh 19y agoAn experience of working with YC who has got people so transparent will be a dream come true (if selected, ofcourse!)
- juanpablo 19y agoDo not ask "When?". Instead ask yourself "What is time?" ;)
- nextmoveone 19y agoJuan Pablo, do you live in Miraflores? Or where? I have family all over Lima.
- juanpablo 19y agoYes, I actually live in Miraflores! (Did I mention it somewhere?) So, are you peruvian?
- nextmoveone 19y agoYour profile says Lima, Peru... a lot of people live in Miraflores so... But, I'm American, my mother and grandparents are Peruvian. Do you have AIM or email?
