Hey for those of you in the US no problem, it's 10pm here in London and pg said we might be notified before 10pm pt. Nails I can bite, but sleep now...you joking right!
Same here in the Netherlands. It's almost midnight, so it looks like I'm pulling an allnighter again. It's all good though, might as well get some work done!

Why have a special modifier when you can just change the amount of upvotes to whatever you want? ;)
Will rejected applicants also receive emails?
We're sorry to say we couldn't accept your proposal for funding.Please don't take it personally. The quality of the applications continues to increase with each cycle, and since there's a limit on the number of interviews we can do, we had to turn away a lot of genuinely promising groups.
Another reason you shouldn't take this personally is that we know we make lots of mistakes. It's alarming how often the last group to make it over the threshold for interviews ends up being one that we fund. That means there are surely other good groups that fall just below the threshold and that we miss even interviewing.
We're trying to get better at this, but it's practically certain that groups we rejected will go on to create successful startups.If you do, we'd appreciate it if you'd send us an email telling us about it; we want to learn from our mistakes.

on behalf of everyone in the chat room who is incessantly asking, when should we expect notification (either way). people are consumed by this question and meaningful business/coding discussion has ceased.
See, this is where a fake notification date for the 3rd could be useful. That way when you get notified a day early on the 2nd, you are pleasantly surprised and haven't been dwelling on it all day.
