First time applicant. Waiting to hear back as well. We'll keep going and we're in the bay area regardless this summer, so maybe I'll meet some of you guys there.
I personally learned a lot from the overall process. Being rejected would only mean learning more and trying harder. Same thing goes for being accepted. YC is not the ultimate goal, but perhaps the most powerful motivation that would help you get there. Also a first time applicant here.
Are you interested in meeting up in the bay area this summer? We will be there anyway too.
Definitely!
All right, shoot us an email. I have just added my email address to my profile.
