We received an invite earlier this afternoon! This came after a pre-interview earlier in the week. So stoked! This is our 5th or 6th time applying.

congrats! Just out of curiosity, did you guys apply 6 times with the same idea/company?

we applied 3 or 4 times with one idea and then completely changed our product. The last two times were the same idea.

when did you send your application? and when did invite come if i may ask?

We submitted on March 23rd, the day before the deadline. The invite came today (as the 18th is the day they were supposed to send invites/rejection emails).

Earlier quoted context omitted.

They did video interviews (10 min) with some companies at the end of last week, but no telling yet whether that's a good or bad sign.

Thank you!

Yea, it was mostly clarifying questions about our application. And a chance for them to talk to us live via video. I'm assuming a lot of the pre-interview video calls were teams on the cusp of getting an invite and they were filtering teams out.
