Re:I have two spare tickets to Launch Festival on Tuesday February 26, 2013 @11:20PM (#5290549)
Or just email me at vlad at readcover dot com. It would be unfortunate to get these tickets go to waste as two of my team mates cannot make it - it is Demo Pit access too.

Event details here: http://festival.launch.co

Launch Festival Question

Has anyone participated? I got accepted to present in the demo pit. Wanted to talk to someone who went. If you could respond to me or connect me with someone who demoed there - it would be great!Regards,Vlad --- CEO & Founder Cover Corporation www.readcover.com

Ask HN: Rate of first-time applicants accepted?

We all know that pitching and hustling is a daily routine for us - and each time we do it, we get better at it, and that multiple tries is almost a rule of thumb for 99% of us.With that in mind, how many of YC alums were accepted first time they applied?Does anyone have an insight into that? Personal experience?

I second that. Good luck all of selected teams!

Thanks for the heads up. I think everyone is waiting impatiently to hear back from you guys. Good call on extending the deadline too.

One question though: I have been checking this site every day for any potential questions from YC regarding my product / startup, just by scanning the "new" and "ask" sections for anything that may be related.

Is there a simpler way to spot if there was a question directed at me?

Thanks!
