Whatever the reason was for your rejection from YCombinator, I commend you guys for at least pushing through with the project and not letting it hinder your progress.<p>I'm still awaiting my beta invitation.<p>Good luck with it.
Why would I have to confirm my email to get an invite code? If I receive an invite code and use it I've effectively confirmed my email. Further, I just got an email and followed a link back to your site so I could... ...do nothing. Not sure that makes me too excited to click on the next link you send me. <p>Worth rethinking.
Frankly, I'd see why they rejected the site. It's an excellent idea, and I'm sure it will work if you guys really exploit the entire social thing - i.e, force people to invite other people. But it's an idea that is already out there, which is why I'd assume that ycomb did not want you.
Thank you... As I had mentioned in one of my previous posts to all the startups, I think rejection should be more motivation for all of you than acceptance. It should push you harder to prove yourself and your idea. <p>Also invitations will be sent out in batches over the next week or so... But I am looking forward to everyones comments and help. <p>We have alot in the works, but are very very happy with what we have put together for you. <p><p>
I see you use verticalresponse.com for your mailing list. I don't get the pricing structure - do you pay per email to one subscriber or do you pay per email to ALL subscribers?<p>And are their services worth it at all when email marketing is more of a side thing?
Why define yourself as "rejected YCombinator company"? It seems like something that does not deserve mention except <i>maybe</i> on the "Company History" page.
