I am talking from a founder's perspective. I am building a new dev tool and trying to seek channels where I can show case it to engineers to have them try it.

BTW - today I tried your idea of posting the text on IG. Thanks for the idea :-) I also changed the website based on your suggestions. Hopefully its better than before

FYI - I have redesigned the website based on all the great feedback received from everyone. http://mentr.io

I changed the image from stock image to image of a real student. Thanks for your candid feedback

Ok this I feel is super useful for me. You gave me actionable feedback and I am super thankful. I will definitely improve upon this. Yep I get defensive, thats something I am working on. I took all the feedback to heart. The person who comm

I accept all opinions - but not the ones that are not useful. For example someone said something about roulette. How is that useful? Why did they even spend time to write that statement? I love critical comments, I really love them. I have

I disagree. An answer such as "Ask them not us" is not productive either specially when I am talking about a serious matter. There are so many people who answered in a useful manner. I accept critical comments but can't handl

I don't think so. YC values idea, team and traction as someone mentioned here. I guess we lack on all of these fronts and hence did not make it to YC

Thank you so much for your comments. Coudnt agree with you more specially the last part :-))

These are some awesome feedback. Thanks for taking time. 1. Very good feedback. The app is designed by me, I am no designer, but we could not afford a designer as we are bootstrapped. So I took the lead and designed it. Given a chance, I wo

Thanks. These are very useful comments. Thanks for taking time to respond. I agree there is lot of things we can improve in the product. The product has not gone viral so I am experimenting with few ideas. I am the technical founder and CEO

Well thats stock statement written by a lawyer. YC should spend time letting founders know where they failed, and what can they do to improve. We spent days to write the perfect application, why cant they spend few minutes for the feedback?

Lol. So true. I might use it for my marketing purposes :-))

Are you saying startups that are from countries who don't speak english are not eligible for YC because they cannot speak perfect english?
23.
by nisthana 9y ago
These are good questions. Thanks for asking them. 1. Why not go to r/nyu - I never said Mentr is the only place to get into but Mentr makes sure the students are real, and we verify their identities. Not sure if reddit does that? 2. Mo

@hluska if Y Combinator cannot deal with the speed that a startup needs to move, which means things cannot be perfect, then my startup is not a good fit for them really. But as far as I know YC, they love scrappy people who put together thi

Wel thats entirely your opinion. Yale has loads of students who do not know perfect english. There are international students as well. Is your point really about "proper English"? Really?

No need for your respect. Visit this post https://www.facebook.com/mentrapp/photos/a.1160039210690959.... It shows the actual email that another student sent me. As I said, photo is stock, testimonial is not.

Sorry, I should have replied here-- @kifler - Mentr is a peer to peer mentoring platform for college and career advice. It lets high schoolers, who are unable to find any help related to college (except for factual info available on google)

These are no made up quotes, they sent it to me. The only conflict is that I had to use one stock image because that student did not send me her profile pic.
