Rejects:Lets figure out why
3 points by op2ed 3352 days ago
Hello fellow rejects, let's try and figure out why we were rejected. Layout your information here, and maybe if we have enough we can recognize some kind of pattern.

Pros- 2 founders- 6 years together, literally saved each other's lives. Field experts. 5k monthly profit. Could easily monopolize a billion dollar market.

Cons- Might be hard to go IPO, or be bought. B corp Unusual field(Ed tech seems harder for most to grasp) Not doing something original, just removing human labor from the process

I'm confused a bit by this. You're both suggesting what your pros and cons are. I thought the best way would be to do an intro of your business and see if we could find a thread there as to why we weren't selected.

Out of curiosity, was your demo video ever viewed? I can see from Youtube stats that nobody in the US ever viewed it, and one person in France viewed it for 3 seconds. I'd suggest I never even got a fair shake, and this was after a YC Alum helped with my application and felt I had a good chance.
