Judging by your blog entry your resources were extremely strained; are you saying if YCombinator wouldn't have accepted you that you wouldn't have pursued any other accelerators even if it would have helped or possibly saved your business if it got bad enough? Seems like a short-sighted statement in my opinion.
What if you want to start another company in 3 years, don't get accepted to YCombinator and decide to apply elsewhere? They may read this and use it as a deciding factor.

I would have done whatever it took to keep the company alive, but I can promise we would have never even considered another accelerator. 2. I will never apply to another accelerator.

- BinaryIdiot 12y ago> Alternatively, they may have already graduated high school. I personally wouldn't care but I've talked to a handful of VCs in my time that were very into their firm that would take any slight against them or their firm as some egregious, unrecoverable thing. Very unreasonable people at times hence my comment.
