We've been running NewsCatcher [1] for over a year now.<p>Many things that we've learnt we got from YC SUS and HN. We'd love to thank this community & YC's free resources: it definitely help us get where we're today!<p>This season, we applied to YC, TinySeed, and Alchemist. Going to YC was my dream for ~2 years. However, we had to reject the YC S21 invitation this morning to join TinySeed S21.<p>Maksym and I are super happy that we got the invitation from the TinySeed team: we're two first-time bootstrapped founders, and we feel that TinySeed's 12 months program is the best fit for us at the moment.<p>Short blog post of why we think TinySeed's program is a great fit to us [2]<p>Great thx to Tracy, Rob, and Einar for giving us a chance! Let's see where we'll be in 12 months.<p>[1] <a href="https://newscatcherapi.com/" rel="nofollow">https://newscatcherapi.com/</a><p>[2] <a href="https://blog.newscatcherapi.com/we-rejected-an-invite-to-yc-to-join-tinyseed-s2021/" rel="nofollow">https://blog.newscatcherapi.com/we-rejected-an-invite-to-yc-...</a>
