Has anyone received an invite/rejection email for the Summer 2018 batch yet?

celldom• 8 years ago

Last year ours came on April 18 around 8:30PM Eastern 5:30PM Pacific for an early May interview. For some reason I do recall a mention of April 17 this year, so perhaps later on today.

Best of luck to everybody doing great stuff and if you're in the hunt - we are hoping for an invite to interview for YC BIO.

jmelliot• 8 years ago

Nothing yet, waiting nervously

eeppin• 8 years ago

No email yet here either. Good luck all!

Wellacopia7• 8 years ago

No one yet? No one?

claudfuen4• 8 years ago

No email yet, we had a video call on Sunday! The suspense...

Wellacopia7• 8 years ago

For real. I barely have nails left.

claudfuen4• 8 years ago

Startup Idea; On-demand nail-replacement kit for anxious YC applicants.

fnanda61393• 8 years ago

I believe the emails will start coming between 6 and 6:30 PM PST.

ROLANDMOVA• 8 years ago

Still did not receive anything, will post here when I get it. Good luck everyone! Hope to meet you there!

distributedleo3• 8 years ago

in Sydney, it is already ~9 am of the 18th :) so we should get those emails earlier.

iamhobag• 8 years ago

M8 it’s 10:25am in Canberra lol

snagpals3• 8 years ago

In Sydney, I think emails should arrive around 3 PM....stressed out !!

acanyon• 8 years ago

Anyone have any good startup ideas? Need a distraction. The suspense is killing me...

fnanda61393• 8 years ago

Ideas are dozen a dime. Lets talk about if anyone failed trying a good idea and how.

antisaa• 8 years ago

Still no word over in Europe either. Which leaves us with the choice of pulling an all nighter hitting refresh button in Gmail or staring at the ceiling

akashmodi• 8 years ago

Not yet, but I am sure they must be slammed with 1000s of applications

laddu1976• 8 years ago

noormili• 8 years ago

Still no answer and im starting to piss my pants

Wellacopia7• 8 years ago

crank4giri2• 8 years ago

Or is it possible that the distribution here is really skewed? The ones who got the invites would not be here anxious, they probably ate having a beer and are high already. It's just us. Non invites ganging up.

yukiyoshida2• 8 years ago

also nothing heard from YC in Japan either. has anyone got mail?

tomtom59000• 8 years ago

6am in France and no mail

yukiyoshida2• 8 years ago

ok thanks.

pankajbalani• 8 years ago

hi, does YC send a rejection email?

distributedleo3• 8 years ago

renegadesensei• 8 years ago

Haven't heard anything yet either. Crossing my fingers :)

viig99• 8 years ago

Still no emails ?

Pannaga2• 8 years ago

Waiting, nothing yet, praying I get it. really looking at the ceiling while continuously hitting my email refresh button.

snagpals3• 8 years ago

no emails yet...is live chat working for anyone?

Arcana2• 8 years ago

Very anxious to hear back but nothing yet for me or my co founder (UK and Argentina)

PhattMelps• 8 years ago

This is nerve-racking, I've been refreshing my email every 5 minutes for the last 8 hours

Younes222• 8 years ago

So?

GeetaPK• 8 years ago

tobessebot• 8 years ago

Nope, this is agonizing.

shayannewright• 8 years ago

Anyone from India who got email by now?

jimmyps3• 8 years ago

SaaS, B2B. All-in-one platform for selling on any channels, integrated with 50+ partners worldwide.

How about yours?

ali_primaseller• 8 years ago

Rejection. B2B product with traction, Consistently growing revenue, Brick & Mortar 2.0 RFS, India. No AI or any other advanced tech. Good old SaaS. We had a pre-interview video call as well.

Feel sad but I guess the application process did give a lot of perspective. Kudos to all who got it. For everyone else, keep calm and build a business. :)
