Instead of identifying yourself as a "YC Reject" why not state what your startup does?

Instead of identifying yourself as a "YC Reject" why not state what your startup does?
- seasoup 17y agoIt got my attention, but now I want to know more... like blazamos says, what does your startup do. Also, why were you rejected by YC?
- scottdw2 17y agoSee above for a discription of the product. And I'm not sure why they rejected me, but I can think of a few reasons: 1. My company is just one person. They usually don't fund companies that have one founder. 2. My software doesn't run on the web. This is mainly because IDEs do not run on the web and my software needs to live on your machine in order to pick up your changes while you work. Most of the companies they fund write web software. 3. My software only runs on windows. This is all just speculation because I really don't know why.
- scottdw2 17y agoI thought "YC reject" would grab attention. Transactor (my company) makes a backup tool for programmers, called Code Agent. It provides backup and version history in between checkins. It helps with the "svn revert... Oh shit" and "it worked before lunch" problems.
