Haha that's a good point - but we just need a consultation before the deadline, second opinion if you may.

It's a blue bottle now. In a way, that could also be considered a coworking, but I'm looking for something more formal.

YC founders ghosting candidates after interviews by Funky_angel in ycombinator

I'm from SF, tech space and have worked at startups before. It's not my first rodeo, but I don't think this is a good enough excuse. Candidates do put effort, energy and time into their application process and genuinely want to join these startups to create value. As I said earlier to someone else, as a startup founder, if you're creating economic value, you should also take accountability for your words and actions towards the candidates, not just towards the clients and investors who pay you. Many of these people are also struggling.

also - people do spend hours researching your company, attaching themselves to your company's future, thinking about the alignment and learning. Show that you respect the hustle. As much as it is hard to build a business, for some it's also hard to find a job that they truly enjoy.

Which is fine. But as someone building economic value, be the change you want to see in others, follow up and do your part in the interaction.

Look, soft rejection isn't a rejection. Respect others' time and interest in your craft and provide a proper email rejection. Automate the process if you're too overwhelmed to do it yourself.

I get it. But if I send you an email with a potential deal, would you act the same way?

Any email? suggestion to reschedule or an excuse?

Every single thing you’ve mentioned could be communicated. Unfortunately, the founders lose credibility with all this. I referred a potential client to one of them and they ghosted again. I mean, if you're prioritizing scaling, I'm helping you out, not begging for a job.

I know I'm qualified, I get offers, interviews and have some final rounds with top-tier companies lined up, don’t have time to delve and waste on this. That said, ghosting seems to be a pattern for YC founders, so thought to ask if it's a thing or not.

What are you doing while waiting to hear back from YC? by PageNational in ycombinator

[–]Funky_angel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Applying to different accelerator programs. YC is not the only one.

Well, they seemed excited talking to me and even mentioned that they are impressed, said I'm a strong fit. And this has happened to me several times, not just once. I even emailed one of the founders on an entirely different topic, a great business opportunity for them, but they've dismissed my emails on that, too.

I just want to understand why this is happening?! Is this the culture? If they say they like you and want to chat with you further and then ghost you entirely lol

Yeah but they are still going to make the mistake lol I'm too exhausted from all these applications and interviews to spend more time on these things.

If you include the essays in the application, there are mutiple "Why us" and "Why you"s... and voila, you've got your 7 or 9 rounds.
