What does it mean when you didn't receive a rejection email. BUT You also didn't get anything saying you got it. Was there a point that they just stopped reading the applications?

Cool, just joined. :-) I've been looking for groups like this...just moved out to the Bay Area about 3 months ago.

Where's the best to stay in the bay area. My concern is good neighbourhood, is closed to tech events and of course has to be ramen-affordable too! I know it's possible to find the best of everything.

Personally I'm partial to the Mountain View/Palo Alto area. Not exactly ramen-affordable though. Sunnyvale/Santa Clara is cheaper, but it's all strip malls and tract housing.

Even the best application will max out at [choose-your-pessimism]% chance of success. Apply elsewhere and often. And apply for YC again next time. Max out quality and quantity of applications for funding. If it's a good idea, you'll get your money/support you need.

Do you know of any investors similar to YC?

These are programs similar to YC that we considered applying for: TechStars, Shotput Ventures, DreamIt, LaunchBox Digital.
