Pros- 2 founders- 6 years together, literally saved each other's lives. Field experts. 5k monthly profit. Could easily monopolize a billion dollar market.

Cons- Might be hard to go IPO, or be bought. B corp Unusual field(Ed tech seems harder for most to grasp) Not doing something original, just removing human labor from the process

I'm confused a bit by this. You're both suggesting what your pros and cons are. I thought the best way would be to do an intro of your business and see if we could find a thread there as to why we weren't selected.

Out of curiosity, was your demo video ever viewed? I can see from Youtube stats that nobody in the US ever viewed it, and one person in France viewed it for 3 seconds. I'd suggest I never even got a fair shake, and this was after a YC Alum helped with my application and felt I had a good chance.
