shit happens. getting rejected is part of the entrepreneur's job description :) fortunately, YC lets you try again.

my first YC app (for my first company, an online SAT prep which I ran for a few years) was rejected, and their critiques were largely right.

i was accepted 2 years later with a different idea (dropbox).

that said, helpful as it may be, YC is neither a necessary nor sufficient condition for success. it's still up to you to MSPW.

We were also rejected the first time as well. And were accepted for a different idea in the next batch.
