I think the general concept of the site is great, but I do think people are perhaps dwelling on the fact that they got rejected by YC, and are often talking about the success of their startup with/without YC.

I got rejected like many of you did, but YC and anything YC related isn't going to influence my success/failure. I'm sure there are myriad of venues to launch your startup.

YC is one of many many gates that can either close or open, meaning there are still other doors out there that need to be picked and broken into.

Not everything is so YC influenced.

Good idea, though.

That was sort of the point of this site - to provide yet another alternative for launch and development of your startup. The name and logo was intended to be tongue-in-cheek, taking a rejection and making something good out of it. After all, it could be read as "NOT rejected from YC"...

Anyways, I'm looking for a new name & positioning. Ideas?

Yup. It didn't go to YC, and I'm not sure it's a startup, but I should have a website to show people in a day or two.
