Nice save, well done.

Understand that the advisors won't be able to give personal feedback, but I am happy to be discussing ideas / issues / feedback with other peers.

More than 15000 startups... I wonder how that will play out.

15,000, huh? That’s a lot more than I expected.

How many had you originally accepted? (And thus, how many have advisors?)

I applied, but haven't received a rejection or and acceptance email. Does this announcement mean I'm in?

We had originally accepted about 4000 - although our goal has always been to make our MOOC as much about "open" as we possibly can. Our own misstep has caused us to accelerate things.

Thanks for the second chance. Will be cool to be able to connect with other founders and access the private community forum.
