Ask HN: YC W2018 invites/rejections?
Has anyone received an invite/rejection email for the W2018 batch?
What's your company?

(I am getting a lot of emails, will try to get back to everyone in 24-48 hours.)

We are open to adding a new team member prior to interviews in COO-type role.
It's easy to fund companies that have traction and make money, but hard when they have neither. If YC had some ability to predict companies that do well when they have only an idea and no code, I no longer see evidence of it.
Goodbye.
1) Maybe there actually was a problem with the approach we were taking to the problem we were trying to solve (there was).
2) We weren't far enough along for the YC program to actually work for us.
YC shouldn't the the solution to bootstrapping. If your team is solid and your solution is solid, then you're going to get to write an "I told you so" letter like you're prompted to in the rejection email. Not only that, but you won't be giving up any equity.
Not getting accepted sucks. Hopefully it doesn't discourage you from working on whatever it is that you're working on.
For S17, I got my invite at 8:14pm EST.
I think invites are done sending. Seems like things have slowed down. Haven't heard of anyone getting rejection letters either
