YC reject here. Created a B2C company doing 5M/month revenue in 4 years. Exited. Applied with second company to YC (B2B), rejected again. Hoping to grow it bigger than last time.

Were you not from the states? Are you a solo founder? Are you not "politically" aligned with California? I'm just wondering how can they reject someone of this calibre. Even if your application was different to your eventual success, a mantra is "we invest in people, not ideas".

50M+ ARR is insane! Congratulations on the exit, btw.
