YC batch s2012, not

Some of you received good news today from YC, some haven't. I'm in the batch that will serve to highlight deficiences in the screening process, by making it without YC' s involvement. For others in similar situation, let me cheer you up by reminding that the most important validation of your idea comes from users and traction. Application screening is tough intelligence test for screener, and they do make mistakes right and left. As Om Malik puts it: "I am old fashioned re startup contests. Good companies can manage w/o them. Angry Birds did not need them". As well as Google, Facebook, Instagram, and thousands other great businesses. Now, have a drink and get back to building whatever empire you were building. Good luck!
