I would like to thank everyone for the feedback and the discussion.
I've been plugging away at CADWOLF for a while now to get an MVP going and I am really just a few weeks from a solid code base. The feedback I got let me know that I was headed in a valid direction. This whole experience was great.
On a side note, I'll be referring to the company as "the one that came in fourth" for a while. I also may be setting a record for YC rejections. Is there a solid number on that somewhere?
- sandGorgon 10y agoCan't wait to see what you come up with. I encourage you to apply to YC ... But make sure you are able to communicate what you are doing ;)
- theuttick 10y agoThanks, I've got 3 or 4 YC rejections and now 2 fellowship rejections (single founder). Finding a co-founder in Houston is not easy. I believe that my YC applications were better written than the very limited writeup we got here, but I should revisit that before I release the robot army to avenge me.
- sandGorgon 10y agoI slightly disagree with how you think you have written. The problem is that HN and YC are highly technical. Most of us already know that web based CAD/numerical analysis is invaluable... What everyone is trying to figure out is YOUR approach. And there was not enough detail in it. You are constantly focusing on the bigger picture - which everybody has already granted. You're in what I like to call "the nuclear fusion problem" - how the hell do you think you can pull it off ? If I were you, I would talk about the innovation in the JS based symbolic solver (and that's pretty much what I would focus on from an implementation POV) and how you will use THAT to disrupt several industries.
