Startup School Advisor Track: You Are In

#252I was just accepted, and then rejected. Felt like shit. You don't need a "startup school" or a YC acceptance to be successful. This application allowed me to type like 45 words about my company, and that was it. I imagine they had thousands of applicants. Once a week with an advisor that's working with 25 other companies? Startup School definitely won't be the thing that moves the needle for your project. Pessimistic…
Sorry about that. I had a different experience. First rejected and then accepted. Seems like one of the boolean flags was messed up.

I think the least we can do in exchange for the free content from auditing the course is forgive you.
If nothing else, this situation is just more motivation to succeed in spite of obstacles and setbacks.

#257So much love for everyone who received an "accepted" email in error. Don't let it get you down. I just got rejected with https://dependabot.com despite $6k MRR and 2,000 active users. I'm sure there are lots of other great companies in the same situation - let's keep building great things.
