Since YC is not really about money but about networking, inspiration, communication, etc. (at least it is how I see it), why those applicants whose applications were rejected couldn't host a bootstrapped "camp"? I mean if several startups could try to grow jointly, sharing experience and expenses that could be an exciting experience.

- yrashk 19y agoI think that losers party is a loser's pattern. Non-accepted people are not losers. Rejection is a good chance to prove the opposite, either alone or with others.
- DanielBMarkham 19y agoAgreed. I made the edit. Thanks for the call. That was too crass. Sorry.
- dottertrotter 19y agoI agree, yesterday I got denied for Y Comb, but this morning I leased my startup's software for one year to a company for the same amount of money Y Comb was going to give me. So I don't think I'm a loser. Denial doesn't mean those rejected weren't wrong, it just means they weren't right for Y Combinator at this time.
