#12I just want to say that e-mail looks very well-written and comforting for a rejection e-mail. I wish companies sent similar rejection e-mails to job applicants. Keep your spirits up, rejectees, this is not the end of the world. Continue doing your thing. :)
I wish girls would do the same thing. Imagine how nice the world would be if everyone wrote their rejections this way!

#14Rejection by YC does not mean your idea/team/execution is not good. Just keep working on your startup, in the mean time you may want to try some other top programs like techstars, 5000startups, angelpad, etc

#20Just curiously - how many video views did everybody get? We had 5 views for a total of ~4 minutes.
0 views. Which is weird because last batch we got 4 views and we feel this was a much better application.
