Thanks to all of the Y Combinator Staff for taking the time to read our application. I wish those who made it through best of luck with the interviews. To everyone who didn't, I'm going to keep going, I hope you will also!
Good thing they're finally out. I've been driving myself crazy for the past week. (no dice here) Frankly, now that the worry and anxiety is over, I can now focus my leftover time on building my idea.

We didn't make the cut, so we're incorporating within the week, cementing our partnership with a 3rd team member (Columbia biz school prof), and immediately seeking funds from more conventional (although more dilutive) sources. We are also looking for one more hacker to join us. We can pay $5k for sure (possibly more depending on alternative funding) + equity for Jan-Mar in Palo Alto area. We're building a collaborative investing system that's quite different than the ones out there, and we have team members with deep domain expertise.
Will be interesting to see who got the invite and goes through to the 3 months. Does any one document this?
Congrats to all who made it!

I kind of take it like a diss from a girl. I just want to find a hotter girl with bigger, better assets and make sure that one girl that didn't give me a chance see's that she really lost out. Maybe even send her a nice sex tape.
Technically, it was a diss from a girl. ;) Nah, a diss is personal. There's nothing personal about this.
Also, be grateful you weren't this guy. http://distilled.wordpress.com/2006/02/23/ycombinator/ I think they got an interview for the round after, not sure if they got in from there.
As far as I am concerned, this is the worst mistake YC has ever made, and we will try never to let this happen again.
