- venjax 18y agoNot so much nervous myself, maybe if we actually get an interview maybe my nerves will kick in then. ;)
- walterk 18y agoNo, but this is also my second time applying. Given how ridiculously competitive it was during the summer round, I feel it's probably unreasonable for just about anyone to get their hopes up. My advice is, don't bank your startup dreams on getting in. If your team and idea truly have merit, you can and should have a startup plan that does not depend on getting into YC. View it as the best-case scenario instead. Not getting in, by the way, does not imply that your team and idea don't have merit. Last time they couldn't accept many that did.
- callmeed 18y agoDoes YC publish the number of applicants for past rounds?
- gqwu 18y agoI saw the number 600 a few times, not sure which round it was for. Only 50-60 groups will get invited to the interview. :( Also I read that 75% of the apps are submitted in the week before the deadline.
- jamiequint 18y agonot since TechStars started competing more directly with them.
