As an East Coast located start up there is the feel of being on the outside looking in. There seems to be obstacles to overcome...be it culturally and geographically. As a startup in an growth industry (UAV/UAS)that happens to focus more on the service delivery and hardware side, how do you overcome the software centric focus of YC?

As a first time applicant, is there a declination notification or is lack of response the indicator of being passed over? Also, it seems there is an advantage in submitting late as you may avoid applicant fatigue. True?
