Congrats on being invited to an interview, and for your progress with Sniply. I understand completing an application even if you don't intend to join a YC batch, but why submit it? Did your team previously want to get into YC, but decide not to right after receiving the interview invite? The feedback even rejected teams receive after interviews seems incredibly valuable, and it's definitely coveted by those who were rejected with no feedback. You said that your team will probably apply again in the future. Why not try to get in now, unless something prevents one of the cofounders from being able to fully commit to YC this batch? It seems like your team is doing great, but consider that the YC partners or alumni may know and be able to help you out with something you aren't even aware that you'll need help with yet. I don't see the benefit of your decision. Perhaps some of your answers will help me understand.
