Got rejected by YC, building VertoX anyway

Hey everyone

Over the past ~6 months, I applied to Y Combinator a few times, but didn’t get in.

We’re still early (pre-seed), but the process actually helped me think much deeper about what we’re building.

Right now, I’m working on VertoX, a real-time voice translation that lets you speak any language on calls while keeping your tone, emotions, and your own voice.

We’re currently building the demo and aiming to launch around April.

The website isn’t fully ready yet, but you can already check it through my profile.

Would really appreciate any feedback or thoughts.

Also curious, has anyone here gone through YC rejections? What did you learn from it? 🚀
