#53Curious how many other people got questions from the partners, website logins, video views, and then got rejected. I didn't put much effort into my app, thinking it unlikely that they'd accept me, but darn it, they did get my hopes up a bit :-)
I applied as a solo founder, so I'm really not surprised.
In other news, I'm considering bringing on a technical cofounder that can take over with what I've built with my very minimal Ruby knowledge while I handle everything else. :)
