Rejected from YC? Maybe this free stuff will ease the pain

20 pointsby jeffreybarrettover 11 years ago
Rejected from YC? Yeah, it can sting a bit.<p>Luckily, there&#x27;s a trend here on HN where companies will offer free stuff or discounts to rejected YC applicants.<p>We&#x27;d like to start this off by giving anyone rejected from YC this round $20.00 of free wine courtesy of http:&#x2F;www.UndergroundCellar.com !<p>Just forward your rejection letter to ycw14@undergroundcellar.com and you&#x27;ll get a gift card emailed to you.<p>* Wine must be delivered to US recipient age 21+.

I&#x27;d love to help YC rejects who wish to continue working on their startups with a free redesign.<p>My portfolio&#x27;s at madebyargon.com<p>Depending on how many people decide to take me up on this offer, I may not be able to accept everyone&#x27;s request, but I&#x27;d at least be able to give advice and guidance.

This is great marketing; its targeted, opportune, and easily-welcomed.
