I got rejected too, for some reason I really believed I was going to make it. It was the kind of things where you discover the existence 4 days before the deadline and you think : there has to be a reason why I discover it now. Indeed, I think there was a reason, but this reason was not getting into YC as I thought. It helped me realize that there is no better time for me to launch my startup and that I am more than ready for that. It was my first application and I don't think I'm ever going to apply to YC or this kind of big incubator again. God only knows, but that's clearly not my mindset today. It distracted me a lot from working on my product, so I imagine what it would have been if I had planned it for months and applied at several places. I'll focus my efforts on developping my product, and I'll work with local investors one step at a time. Nice experience anyway, and congratulations to those that have been invited ! I hope we'll meet down the path of success - I'm not saying you'll be there first ; ) Cheers
