Officially the best day of my life. - We almost had a minor heart attack as we received an email stating that we were not accepted. But we are in ....it was a Y-Com email trigger problem. (honest mistake)

I'm so sorry for the completely unnecessary emotional rollercoaster we sent you on. There's really no excuse. Having said that, there's no reason why this should keep you from working on your company. I hope you'll decide to give it a shot anyway.

Jarred, perhaps this can be a small help. I organised a group of startup school 2017 alumni in London to do the course together, so we have a large number of ‘advisor track’ graduates from last year in our community. Been in contact to explain the problems you guys are having, a number of them have said they can do weekly office hours style sessions. For us, the structure of checking in and having a group that you’re…

That seems promising ... hope you keep working on it.

First product will launch in October (Nexves dot com) would appreciate any comments Jared. Got ~1,000 users desperate to test the beta and a very compelling reason 100k will migrate in the first 12 months. Startup School would of been external gratification of what we know is an awesome idea. We’ll deliver.
