Ask HN: When will we know if YC accepted/rejected the application?

[MateuszMucha]

Hi,

Quick one: the application deadline was yesterday. How long does it take for YC to make a decision and send out invitations and "we're sorry" e-mails? (I was told they send them all at once).

I'm signing a shareholder's agreement with another accelerator next week unless I'm invited to YC's meeting and I'd like to be able to give them a date when I'll know for sure (I don't want to be an ass).

The email invites/sorry come out late evening on October 28th.

They have said in the past if you have a deadline with another accelerator to email them directly with details.

Keith, thanks. You mean I should e-mail one of YC partners and ask for a quicker evaluation?

You can shoot me a note. Kat at ycombinator.
