What made you think that I am not building a company/product? :)

As I said, I am moving forward and will continue applying for every batch of YC, no matter what I am working on (whether it's the same product or something new).

Sounds like you consider YC to be valuable only for idea-stage projects, but that's not true. There are companies that have raised money and still go through YC.

P.S. Viewing your application at YC as "lottery" would likely not get you even an interview. It's not a lottery. My application wasn't strong-enough and that is why it didn't get picked.
