#52Are you applying to YC again? (for the 2011 summer batch)?
Why would he apply? He has 1.2m revenue per year, his valuation must be much higher than that, the 30k YC will give him in return for 10%-30% (or whatever it is) is a pittance.
For the experience and connections. There is more to YC than money.

#55I see that my title has been edited by one of the admins at HN.
Just so you know, the original title was:
YC W11 Reject Now Pulling In Over $100k in Monthly Revenues
I like that much better, but it conflicted with the submission guidelines, per emmett's comment.

#56HN changed the title of the post. That's not cool.

I did not downvote you, but if you read the post you would know it is related to YC.

True, but do you know of many (or any) companies that applied to YC while making a cool $100k/month?

#59It's too bad the app sucks at its advertised purpose (finding good apps). I was excited when I read the description and saw how many people were using it.

#60Very cool. What's particularly interesting, I think, is that it's still possible to have a big hit like this in the iOS ecosystem, if you understand that ecosystem very well.
