Curious how many other people got questions from the partners, website logins, video views, and then got rejected.

I didn't put much effort into my app, thinking it unlikely that they'd accept me, but darn it, they did get my hopes up a bit :-)

[scottmagdalein]

No questions. No video views. Rejected.

I applied as a solo founder, so I'm really not surprised.

In other news, I'm considering bringing on a technical cofounder that can take over with what I've built with my very minimal Ruby knowledge while I handle everything else. :)

I got 3 questions from pg, 10 video views, rejected

[sjtgraham]

What were the questions if you don't mind my asking?

[robbiet480]

Sure

Which one of you is the CEO? How did the founders meet? What's going to happen to (my previous company that laid me off) if we fund you?

[replayzero]

Oh man, thats gotta hurt worse than getting 0 questions!

[robbiet480]

Yup :(

[hashmij]

Yeah, I got 1 question from PG, which really got my hopes up, because I wondered, "why would he ask this if he wasn't interested?" This was especially so since his question implied interest.

A real bummer. I wouldn't have been so heartbroken if it hadn't been for this message, which really got my expectations up. It's my own fault though.

I also had to deal with losing a co-founder during the application process, so I wonder if my perceived instability was a factor. Trying to figure out why if it was a serious reason (instead of just having too many other qualified candidates), although I understand their personal reasons stance.

[willieavendano]

I GOT 20 VIEWS LOLZ

[jennyshen]

A few days after the submission ended I realized that my video wasn't working, lol.

[replayzero]

oh no. Sorry.

[victorology]

We had one video view (embedded in ycombinator.com) and two referrals to our landing page from ycombinator.com as well. No questions.

[trickmonkey]

They created an account and poked around but we're both over 30 which I think is an auto-reject.

[rdl]

There are teams where everyone is over 30, and at least a few where the founders include people older than pg.

[trickmonkey]

Granted, but fairly certain PG never looked at our company. This isn't the early days.

[stilldetermined]

Whatever helps you sleep at night, but just know, that's entirely not the case :-)

[dontfallisleep]

I don't think so. They have had co-founders over 30 before.

[trickmonkey]

Know I'll never win this, and it's not absolute but there is a bias.

[trickmonkey]

"entirely." Just mostly.

[ricardobeat]

We only got one view from California (Nov 6) and one from Germany (Nov 4).
