Rejected from YC? Yeah, it can sting a bit.

Luckily, there's a trend here on HN where companies will offer free stuff or discounts to rejected YC applicants.

We'd like to start this off by giving anyone rejected from YC this round $20.00 of free wine courtesy of http:/www.UndergroundCellar.com !

Just forward your rejection letter to ycw14@undergroundcellar.com and you'll get a gift card emailed to you.

* Wine must be delivered to US recipient age 21+.

Free date for rejects! If you can't get YC .. at least you can find love.

http://thedatingring.com/join - we're only in NY now but if you're not NYC, send in your info now and when we expand to SF / wherever you live, you'll set you up with a free date if you remind us.

This is great marketing; its targeted, opportune, and easily-welcomed.

I'd love to help YC rejects who wish to continue working on their startups with a free redesign.

My portfolio's at madebyargon.com

Depending on how many people decide to take me up on this offer, I may not be able to accept everyone's request, but I'd at least be able to give advice and guidance.
