Can we email them for some kind of feedback about the application?

Maybe worth a shot regardless, but from talking to other people I know applied and also rejected in the past few minutes (including myself), we seem to pretty much all fall under that "good but pushed out by the best" category.

I would like to know the weakest part of our application. So if it's the founders' experience we can work to improve upon that.

Haha - if they say it isn't the founders' experience you won't work on improving it?

Of course you can give it a shot. I bet they will be pretty busy, and won't be able to give you a very substantial answer, though.

Condolences to all who have to start the start-up without YC help. It can be done; best wishes.
