Got my 10th rejection late last night. Looked through my demo logs and it didn't seem like anyone even bothered to look at my demo. Then I went back and looked at my application form submission and realized I put the wrong link to my demo.. I spent months preparing for this and I put the wrong link!!?? lol.... Oh well, I can only move forward and continue with our plan. I have a feeling that the 11th time is the charm!
Started a slack support group for ycrejects. We will network, work together and support each other to reach our goals. We need not work in isolation. If you're interested ping me, email in my profile.
A couple of people over at <a href="https://yc.metachat.com/" rel="nofollow">https://yc.metachat.com/</a> said they got a rejection letter not long after the first invites

I lost faith in YC and won't apply again.<p>It's easy to fund companies that have traction and make money, but hard when they have neither. If YC had some ability to predict companies that do well when they have only an idea and no code, I no longer see evidence of it.<p>Goodbye.
they may be sending invites from the categories populated least to most. Just a theory based off the anecdote that most consumer categories haven't heard back.
