Ironically, this was posted on a YC-backed platform and did pretty well! I'm all for services that try to break up the nepotism in the tech space.

@milesbflorence ha ya I was actually a bit surprised at how big the response was!

Why would this only be for the 2018 batch? Wouldn't it be motivating to see companies that are thriving today but were rejected (possible multiple times) before? You could add which years the companies were rejected and whether it was during interview or application.

@aurorakb thanks for the feedback! Yes, I definitely want to add groups for all batches and find out more about the stories of each company! The goal was to get this started around the time that Summer 18 rejection emails came out, and then build on it from there. Thanks for checking it out and leaving the advice!!

Yeah sound cool, but we need more happening inside the community. What we can do?

@filip_zajac I agree. I'm working on a couple possibilities. do you have any ideas?
Filip Paldia
@awt Definitely somebody needs to be there for review. Maybe also invite some advisers or investors.

@filip_zajac yes, great ideas. I've been talking to investors this past week about how that arrangement could work.

We got rejected too 😅If only they decided two weeks later because we just launched and got 2,000 users overnight and even crashed the platform 🤘🏻 Check us out! We connect you to your friends' friends so you can travel for free: www.friendtheory.com
