> This is the second time we’ve applied to Y Combinator. Our dream has been, for a while, to get our startup off the ground
I don't mean to be crass, but
1) This seems to imply that doing Y Combinator entails success, which is backwards.
2) What has the startup been doing since when it was last rejected? Why try to showcase a random thing you can do in 72 hours instead of showcase how you can build your startup in the months in between YC sessions?
1. You're absolutely right, it dosen't guarantee success. However, getting into Y Combinator would definitely help.
2. This is actually our pivot. We've been together as a team for a year. Also, the reason we haven't launched is because we've been waiting on the crowdfunding law to pass.
We've been working and are continuing to work on seedlauncher.com, applying to Y Combinator is a very small part of what we've been up to.
