YC Summer 18 ( Invites / Rejections )

[san17]

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

[celldom]

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.

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. :)

I read some persons already got invite email already, see chat link below https://communities.metachat.com/communities/ycombinator

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.

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

[Gavinles]

I haven't heard back but, I wish all of you good luck and even if you get rejected be like Phil knight and never stop!

[amankapoor]

Who was Phil Knight? Why did you mention him?

[Pannaga]

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

We haven't heard anything yet... it's been a week... has anybody else heard anything this week april 24th?

[Younes22]

Quick question: Do all the founder of the start up receive the email or just the one who applied for them?

[ROLANDMOVA]

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

[PhattMelps]

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

[aaavl2821]

A friend just got an invite at 10:50 pm, for those still waiting keep your fingers crossed!

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

[fnanda6139]

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

[Arcana]

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

[akashmodi]

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

[fnanda6139]

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

[renegadesensei]

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