We just found out we got an interview. Email went out about 7PT. I post that just to let others know timing. Also, we live in Bay Area, ~10 min away from YC, so if people need help with travel logistics and what not, please feel free to PM me.

Congrats! Make it big, very big.

I got rejected too, for some reason I really believed I was going to make it.

It was the kind of things where you discover the existence 4 days before the deadline and you think : there has to be a reason why I discover it now.

Indeed, I think there was a reason, but this reason was not getting into YC as I thought. It helped me realize that there is no better time for me to launch my startup and that I am more than ready for that.

It was my first application and I don't think I'm ever going to apply to YC or this kind of big incubator again. God only knows, but that's clearly not my mindset today. It distracted me a lot from working on my product, so I imagine what it would have been if I had planned it for months and applied at several places. I'll focus my efforts on developping my product, and I'll work with local investors one step at a time.

Nice experience anyway, and congratulations to those that have been invited ! I hope we'll meet down the path of success - I'm not saying you'll be there first ; )

Cheers

I thought for sure I would make it, but I didn't. and the thing is, I'm sure all those that got in are yet another social media site, or app.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

why does your company do?

We make the Patient-Oriented Medical Record that automatically retrieves and processes your medical records onto your mobile device. We're in beta. www.zobreus.com. https://youtu.be/ZbUbp-P4IT0

Why is that useful? who needs their medical records on their phone? also, does it violate HIPPA?

Got rejected. Is there any way to change their decision?

They deleted my application, messages from Kevin, everything. they REALLY don't want us asking for feedback...

Honestly they way they handle the rejection letters feels like a sucker punch in the face, I get them not wanting to spend a lot of time on it but damn.
