Well, I believe it is worth it to stop talking to customers and coding for a moment and try to analyze, why the heck you did not get approved to YC.

I'm not upset, actually it's a good thing that I don't have to give out 7% of my company for $15k. But nevertheless, worth it to analyze.

View on HN

it's no longer 15k for 7%, isn't it? it's 120k

no sane developer would trade his idea he spent several months working on for just 15k, even if it's YC. That's not how investor's market is right now.

I was not aware of that :)

sorry, I don't think it makes you feel any better :)

but hey, make a first million, have a successful exit - next time apply with a billion dollars idea - they'll take you seriously!!
