Was waiting to receive word from Y Combinator before commenting here! Just received the email, was not accepted. I run a web based magazine, DotSauce.com, an authority site in the domain name industry. Additionally DotSauce reaches out to front-end developers, WordPress enthusiasts and the online marketing crowd.
My hope in applying was really to be involved in the experience of Y Combinator. The funding would have been well received bonus and used to propel DotSauce to the next level, along the lines of SmashingMagazine.
I'm going to pursue private funding from contacts in the industry now that I've been inspired to do so!
- unalone 17y agoIf you have to self-describe yourself as an authority, that's a bad sign. So is self-advertisement on a forum of people who all have a product to shill but have learned when's good and bad to speak up.
- DotSauce 17y agoI was simply providing insight into the status of my established site. I also happen to be the direct subject of the topic, so why not speak up?
- unalone 17y agoBecause it suggests to me a lack of strategy. You're not pitching your product to us. From what I've seen of your site it's not something that would appeal to most of us. So it's a tad misguided to be making your sales pitch here rather than in a forum where you're more needed.
