We tried to hustle our way into YC after we got rejected
A few days after the initial call we got the email from YC inviting us to Silicon Valley to meet the partners for the final stage of the YC interviews. On our return, we got the email, as you know, we got rejected from YC
We updated our team, friends and family and then over a few bottles of wine, we hatched a master plan. Therefore, we thought that if we can get first paying users and MRR over the weekend and get back to YC next Monday morning, they would see that we had achieved MRR in only a few days.
