What's the probability on acceptance for those who are applying the second time? Is it progress or right fit that you mostly look for?

We've funded many companies on their second (or later) application. Dropbox is a well-known example.

We do look at progress since the last application, but mostly because we like effective people. Great founders get stuff done.
