> YC is a hell of an opportunity. The advice/mentoring, along with a little bit of cash is big for young ambitious hackers/entrepreneurs/dreamers like us.
To be a bit of a downer, I think that's why some people are so distraught about getting rejected - sure, some people are going to come out ahead anyway, and some never will no matter how much of a boost they get, but something like YC is a big push for those at the margin. It really could be the difference between success and failure.
