Not nervous but it just started snowing here so hoping for a reason to get the hell out of Wisconsin for a while lmao!

We just had a terrible rainstorm and I just got water splashed at me by a car lol. Lets hope the luck turns around.

Fortunately, your entry into YC is completely disconnected from the weather in your area.

Got rejected too! I want to encourage everyone, it's not the end of the world. It's normal to be sad, but determination is one of the most valuable traits in an entrepreneur. I plan to reapply in the next session mainly because of the invaluable advice YC can give. Good luck guys!

- rejection postmarked 1:59 pm for zejoop.com - one view of founder video - zero views of demo video - I am a single founder - this was my third YC application, all for Winter sessions

- I don't want to live in a world where someone else is making the world a better place than Zejoop.com is making the world a better place

We're working on a new sales platform called coldminer (http://www.cold-miner.com) that unifies the entire process by including millions of built in prospecting leads, virtual call center, help desk, real time communications between sales reps, optional integrated e-commerce store for both front end purchasing as well as the option for sales reps to select inventory and make the sale from the call center, mass email capability, sales rep training and more.

We've been in the prototype phase for the last 7 months with one company using the prototype as it's sole leads source and sales platform and its helped them open over 200 new accounts and raise sales by over 200%.

We need alpha/beta testers and would love to see some other startups use it to gain traction so if anyone is interested in it let me know and we'll set you up.

It does both b2b and b2c but we're still working on the b2c aspect (a lot more data points and moving parts on the b2c side, plus a hell of a lot more leads to deal with) so we're really looking for companies that sell b2b right now but will be looking for b2c companies soon.

Still haven't gotten a yay or nay yet, fingers aching from being crossed so long ;) I haven't seen anyone say they've been accepted yet on either this or this (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10467290) thread, only regjections, but a number of others still waiting for an answer one way or another.
