Failure and rejection are what drives us entrepreneurs, if your going to let an application to a start up bootcamp get you down, how you going to deal with getting knocked back by all those people you're trying to do deals with. Just add it to the list of knock backs and keep on going.
Seriously, getting rejected from these things is as good as getting accepted; it's what you make of it, you might get rejected but you'll figure out how to move forward whatever the weather. Hell, you might get through, but I am pretty sure once you have then the hard work will just be beginning and there'll be plenty more knock backs around the corner that'll you have to deal with.
Bootstrap your lifestyle, live off lentils and water, if you need to support the wife and kids work part time, but you can still make progress and find a way out, no matter what the obstacles! to paraphrase Robert Crumb, "Keep on Truckin"
Then go and play some Albert Collins on full blast....preferably the album, "Truckin' with Albert Collins", it'll make you smile...
