Follow up question then. Last time we were applying with no product and no customers. Now we have product and customers (even some YC partners and many of alumni). I heard that YC alumni can vote up on the application of the startup they believe in. Is that true? I guess it might help:)
Hi Sam. If the company applies for the second time with some progress made, is it treated differently, like "Ahhh... the same guys. Let's see what they have done since last time"? Does it matter at all?
Thanks for the comments. We are fully committed to the project and trying to get into YC was sort of a clearing the vision and putting everything into one single document. It helped a lot. Though we'd do our best to get into summer batch we'll keep on doing on what we're doing regardless if we succeed or not. It is just another motivational element:) Trying to get into YC and making progress with customers and users are the same to me. The more we are attractive for YC the better are the chances.
