Maybe we should have it the day after the YC investor day so we can invite all the YC staff too? Get to meet them at least?
Was thinking same thing, nobody might show up but you never know!

YnotC. Kind of clever. What about CYnot. Like !YC but backwards. Flip it and reverse it. We're distancing ourselves, making it our own, inverting the establishment.
cynot.com is taken, what else you got?

#13So 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.

maybe it should be nothing like the YC name in case it decides to take on a life of its own.
Agree. That's workable. But at the same time, the definition by opposition is unavoidable...As your post said "Rejects unite". That's a powerful force to tap (underdogs, rebels, force against the system/establishment, disruptors). It may move beyond that in time but pooling the rejected is a good firestarter. So a name that doesn't get ahead of itself but capitalizes on this works.

good enough. You are officially in charge of the name. Make the rejected proud! We could just host on github right?
