[Thanks HN] eLive Democon
1 points by MK5 5574 days ago
Hi folks, it's been a while now.

We've applied for Yc few months ago but we've been rejected :( Still, we kept posting about our startup and many folks here helped us in pivoting our service, changing our positionning and reviewing our marketing proposition.

And it worked! We've been invited to the last DEMOcon in Palm Desert and we've met many VC/Angels willing to help us :)

By the way, I just wanted to share some links with you guys to keep you updated about our progress so if you have any additional tip, please let us know.

PS: super mega ultra special thanks to the [OFFER HN] guys. You've helped us so much! Really looking forward to meeting you one day.
