Thanks for the update. Good luck everyone.

While we wait I thought i'd create a friendly competition for all the y Combinator January hopefuls. Enter your product or team video here: http://www.topthat.com/brandon/yCombinatorProductVideo

Good luck everybody. If you fail, don't worry, keep learning, iterating and hustling. We failed last time, made some changes and then successfully raised from great early stage investors.

great job! great attitude! who did you raise from and how did failing at YC application help you? I've applied for this cycle. Waiting eagerly.

Thanks for the heads up. I think everyone is waiting impatiently to hear back from you guys. Good call on extending the deadline too.

One question though: I have been checking this site every day for any potential questions from YC regarding my product / startup, just by scanning the "new" and "ask" sections for anything that may be related.

Is there a simpler way to spot if there was a question directed at me?

Thanks!

I wondered this too, and was worried I'd miss questions. I poked around though and found this on quora: http://b.qr.ae/UDFIqn

Apparently questions are not super common.

Any applicants (past, present, future) interested in having an informal meetup this weekend? Whether we get good news or bad news on the 15th, getting together would be a great morale boost and it'll be fun to meet everyone! I happen to be in Silicon Valley, but I'll be there in spirit for fellow applicants everywhere else :)

Contact info's in the profile. Good luck to everyone!
