Good luck everybody. If you fail, don't worry, keep learning, iterating and hustling. We failed last time, made some changes and then successfully raised from great early stage investors.

This gives me hope. Since I submitted early and have made a lot of improvements since, I'm crossing my fingers that they'll either check out the app in its current state or we'll get another chance.

BTW, checked out M.Dot and PoweryBase. Good job dude.

Whatever the outcome, us start-ups should always takes things in their stride and focus on the end goal. I've always held the belief that things happen for a reason and if you works hard towards something, you will get it, even if it was not the intended path.

Any Canadians applying from Ontario? If yes, would love to meet in the Toronto area. Wish everyone the very, very best!

I'm based out of Markham. Where are you from?

Totally agree. Fundraising is a tactic, not a strategy.

It makes sense only if you're doing stuff you would have done anyway to build the company.
