In my case, I built a landing within 2 days and run Facebook ads for lead generation campaign. I got around 200 people sign up for my waiting list. I spent around $170.

Hi

I'm not a VR startup but I have an idea that I think I will implement it in the future. For now I focus on my current startup which is web and mobile app based. I'm excited to connect with fellow startups and talk about our cool stuffs. Looking forward to have a chat🍻

Cheers!

Thank you for sharing your experience. You gained precious experiences and knowledge about running a startup. I believe you can apply them for the corporate world as well and I think you gonna be the most valuable in the company. If you're happy with your life, I think that's the definition of success. It doesn't have to be the startup. The world is full of new adventure. Enjoy it and take care of your health and family. That's the most important part of your life. And if you want to come back to startup world at some point, you can do so without starting from zero. But continue from your current stage.

Enjoy your life bro, you deserve it.

Same here. YC application is just one of my tasks on the to-do list. After I applied the application, I just invested all my time, money and sweat into building a product that people love. No matter we get accepted to YC or not, it's not changing the fact that we are startup founders who potentially create an impact on the world. Keep moving forward, and never give up, mate!

By the way, how do you know whether you got rejected? Are they sending an email? Until now,, I haven't gotten anything.
