YC S15 invites will be sent out today

Posted by mamoriamohit on Friday April 10, 2015 @01:50PM
from the self-post dept.

As the invites (or rejections) will land in 1000s of inboxes today, 3% will be seen packing their bags for the interview and others will get back to building their startups.

Let's do one thing - the 97% who won't get the chance of interview will post their product's homepage and demo URL in this thread so that we all can provide crowd-feedback to them.

The happier 3% are also invited to share their products/demo as well.

Let's do it, then?

Apparently they invite about 10% of the applicants for the interviews (I've read somewhere last year they had 5k applications and 400 interviews). This obviously must depend on the number of applications.

Great idea, this will really encourage the ones who didn't make it to this round. An awesome community can be built this way too!

Midnight PDT of April 10 has already passed.

Or did he mean midnight of April 11th? Not sure.

katm (Kat Manalac, I guess) YC Partner said midnight about 1h ago. So that would be in 10 hours. Good luck!
