If you applied for this cycle, please enter your email address in the email field on your profile. You can edit your profile by clicking on the name in the upper right when you're logged in.

When responding to applications we use the email address of the username under which each was submitted. So if you haven't entered an email address in your profile, you won't hear from us.

A substantial number of applicants, including several who seem likely to be invited for interviews, do not currently have any email address in their profile.

Later Edit: Never mind. We'll just extract them from the applications. This means you'll get multiple emails per startup though.

Thanks for giving detail about where to enter email address. We had our email address in application form and we thought we have everything set. But noticed that we didn't have email address in profile so, just updated it.

That makes so much sense. I thought you might be pulling the e-mails out of the applications manually, and having coded and used a system for processing submissions (to an online fiction magazine), I was wondering how the hell you could stand to do that for 500+ applications. Glad to hear you're keeping yourself sane ;-)

Hi, thanks for the reminder, we put our emails in the application itself and not in our profiles, but we just updated them. I hope not having the emails in our profiles didn't effect anything.

echo "jd; John Doe; 99; None; john.doe@whoknows.com; ; ." | cut -d ";" -f 5

...so if someone makes mistakes it is automatically out :-)

Guess the way they chose is the best though.

You shouldn't have to worry. I can't imagine them not contacting you because of something like this. Keep in mind if your idea is good, they'll find a way to contact you. Even if that means manually pulling your email from your app.

Maybe this is a kind of ultimate test to check if founders try everything to not let slip their chance of being taken...
