Oh, so at least we get a rejection e-mail if we don't get through right? EDIT: So apparently, they do. Looking forward to that e-mail tonight. All the best to everyone.
you mean WHEN you get in! Cheers!

Re: Y Combinator results
#22This was a strange application cycle for us. I've applied in the past and my analytics (Google/Bit.ly) and logs have always lit up as the app was under reviewed. This time. Nothing. Not a single click on our links or view of our video... Which is strange because we have a great team, a live site (with an audience nearing 75k/month), income, and had an acquisition offer just a few months ago. Maybe I missed something.…
Same on me, on last cycle we had our demo and vid visited although we had a very early and poor prototype, now we've been working really hard for months on it and we have a really awesome product, but no visits this time. We even bought a server on USA so they had a low ping and did a tour on our demo. It's really hard to be working so much time on it and haven't had it even visited.
Interesting story I guess....3 hrs before deadline I received an email saying that they don't typically accept anyone without a video and that I needed to submit one, so I just did one of myself bc if such short notice and half my team was outta town. It only got viewed 3 times....so we shall see. GL GUYS/GALS!!!

This happened to us last time. We were rejected. This time one of our links was viewed, once.

#26Earlier quoted context omitted.
Just checked: 1 view, playback duration 19 sec. That doesn't sound very promising. Fingers crossed tighter
How do you check how many times your video was viewed and the playback time? Sorry...still new to this whole thing.
If you uploaded your video on Youtube (like I did) you just visit the video page and click on the "Analyse" button.

My video is on Youtube, so is quite easy. Using the google account I uploaded the video, I go to my video and click on "analytics". It is not listed, so any views are either from me or YC. But you also can dig deeper and see where your video is been saw from, mine analytics show that my video as once saw through a "ycombinator.com" player.

#30Just viewed my analytics for my pitch. 4 views and estimated minuted watched were 2. The wait is killing. Since I'm located in England, I think I may stay up all night just to make sure I don't miss the call - if there ever is one.
