I was reading about YC rejections when I came across a company who wrote on HN about trying to hack back in after a rejection. They failed:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=20224157" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=20224157</a><p>But a scroll down their blog revealed a 1 year rise to $1m ARR and now this investment.
