A friend of mine who completed YC told me that there was a guy who got rejected 4 or 5 times before getting accepted. Just remember always be positive and keep working hard :)

Cheers!

We got rejected the first time. Same idea, 2nd time, accepted.

We were down on music startups the first time after seeing so many get hosed by record labels. But you guys proved there's a great business model there.

Did he submit a new project each time?

[dotmatrix]

Yes I believe so, that is key.

I applied twice with a previous idea. Rejected once, interviewed and rejected another time.

[RussRomStanBety]

who was in the interview room with you ?

[yesimahuman]

I remember all of the partners being there.

Don't YC claim to choose teams instead of ideas?

[earbitscom]

Maybe the change in idea, or the progress, showed the true colors of the team better.
