We're in!

We got a video interview last week which seemed like a good sign, but then came the rejection letter today. I was just thinking about setting up a post-demo day event for us rejects and found this thread. I'm glad to see others had the same idea. We are actually going with our original plan to move to California from Europe despite the rejection. We would be very interested in connecting and helping to organize such an event. I like your idea to call it YnotC or similar as the brand will get attention. Domain name ynotc.co is available. Who is taking the lead on this?

I'd potentially be interested, but will likely have raised a round before this would happen, let me know how I can help. Would anybody here be interested in doing open office hours together? There was N-Combinator which did that a few years ago, and I made some really good connections. I'm based in Sydney, AUS, but thinking a weekly progress, catch-up and feedback.

Good idea!

So far thinking: - Demo day: 10-min pitches, treat it as the real deal - Audience can fill out feedback cards - Organize guaranteed user feedback networks(from i.e. at least five other startups) - Party/network afterwards and celebrate our launch day/commitment to keep pushing!

Yes I like it a lot! And I think it would be easy to book a meeting hall at a hotel that could be used for everything. Especially easy for those coming in from out of town.

We will be in Palo Alto, so we can help organize the event.
