Rejection here too - honestly think we just weren't far along enough (0 users, 0 traction, barely working prototype) - will keep hustling and re-apply in 6 mont

Rejection here too - honestly think we just weren't far along enough (0 users, 0 traction, barely working prototype) - will keep hustling and re-apply in 6 months. In all honesty, I really can't blame YC because the only reason we didn't have users/traction is we only started working on our idea a couple weeks before application deadline but from the perspective of a YC partner, I can imagine their first thought is that a lack of users/traction communicates that you're not hustling hard enough. Good luck to everyone who has an interview :)
