YC W17 Invites/Rejections

14 pointsgetnorby52 comments

Has anyone received an invite/rejection email for the W2017 batch yet?

Boks Kar didn't get selected either for W17, we found out by looking the status on our application page.

The cool part is we look forward in taking our company to the next level. There is a ton of stories of founders moving forward without YC, and sometimes you don't need an accelerator to make your dream come true. It's the dream itself that's powers you to make it come true. It would have been great to meet the YC team and learn from them. But after with much thought, it makes sense to move forward and become a market leader to tip my hat to YC.

If you're interested to work for company that's going to change how we own cars - drop your resume@bokskar.com

Power on and take your dream to the next level. I'm 404.

Thanks, Rudy Ferraz BoksKar.com

Rejected…… “Every time I thought I was being rejected from something good, I was actually being re-directed to something better.”

Wondering anyone who got accepted for an interview want to switch dates?

We signed up late for the interview and are currently scheduled for 11/2 but my co-founder will be out of town then. Anyone have a slot the following week that would want to switch? Mail me at mericsson@gmail.com thx!

I wish

Not yet. Anxiously waiting...the odd part is that their application now says invites will be sent on 10/25 (today):

http://www.ycombinator.com/apply/

they mentioned 25 oct in a tweet also https://twitter.com/ycombinator/status/789852320402026496

Wow so it's confirmed! My day just got 100x more exciting! Have you heard anything?

not yet ...

(thank me later)

thank you.

Regarding late applications, does anyone know if they notify you that your application is considered late? We submitted at 8:01pm PT so we aren't sure if it counts as late.

Just a guess, but I am guessing that would be considered on time. Best of luck :) :)

I think so too. The confirmation email we received said "you can continue to edit your application until the application deadline (Oct 04, 8pm PT)"

you will be okay.

I saw I was still able to update on the 5th too so I'm sure you good

Hey folks... wow, we just got an invite to come to California :-) Good luck everyone... and regardless of your application outcome - make something fucking amazing anyway.

Congrats !! hope you guys and/or girls ace the interview !!

Congratulations! :) What is the idea you are working on?

Congratz mate! Get ready for the interview, I hear you only have a few days!

Received rejection email last night...I know all the stories of successful start-ups that were rejected and all but can't help but feel extremely disappointed...

It's okay. You're not alone.

sending good vibes. xoxo

Rejected. Get it though, as my thing is both really (probably too) big and really early. The grind continues though.

I was certain you'd get in tbh. Your head game and confidence seemed on point. I was pretty confident that I was getting in I had like 49 embedded views. I'm bummed but oh well. Life moves on. It was my first time applying so I feel like a dick complaining about not getting in. Plus, I'm solo and non-technical. I was hoping that my hubris and ability to communicate would get me an interview.

Still didn't receive an email, anyone else waiting confirmation like us?

Still waiting for the email

Anybody have any idea of video views from them on application video?

what do you mean by that? like how many views # did we get?

Yeah

pretty difficult to know, i have no views from San Francisco yet

I checked my embedded views and made sure mine wasn't public. I had 2 views from what I'm pretty sure is yc at only half the length of the video time...yikes

embedded: 46

Not sure if they think I am funny or a psycho.

Just got the email about an hour ago EST, with the invitation.

Congratulations !!

Hope you nail it :)

Is anyone still waiting for the email?

It seems as though everyone has gotten them. Most people have gone into hiding though. I received my rejection at 5:37 and was crying in front of a mirror by 5:38. #proud

We are still waiting for the email.. No news

Crossing my fingers for you :)

East coast reporting. No email here

have any one received email for video call from YC ?

Good luck everyone!

thank you :) :)

Any updates?

I just got a rejection email...

Just got rejection email as well - last time (s16) we were invited for the interview but did not get in at the end. But it only makes everyone stronger, nothing that anyone should be sad about. For anyone interested, our product demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdpG1sKd5bI

Just got my rejection. Now I wonder if all 46 of the embedded views were them just laughing at me lol.

Rejected

inb4 heart attack
