    Love the energy here! If anyone wants another set of eyes on their app, dm me on Twitter - send a google doc and I’ll take a look! (Can’t promise I’ll get to all of them, but I’ll try)

    The idea is good but YC doesn't want videos with pre planning in their application..they clearly mention it in their instructions for applying. They want you to speak naturally.

    @keyurahuja bullet points, it’s hard to have a natural chat with 5 people in the video

    With all actuality, I did not apply yet because I am launching my new CRM CJPath

    @hungryhelen It is a CRM made by salespeople for salespeople. It does help you increase you conversion rate to the possible max. You can give it a try, it is free.

    Anyone have an estimate (or know) the number of applicants and the acceptance rate for these batches?
    Share
    Clustr
    @weansard 20,000 per batch, 40k per year. Around 250 companies per batch. Acceptance rate of around 1%. It’s tough!
    Share
    Sean Ward
    @timcha Wow. Honestly surprised. I knew it was competitive but wasnt expecting 40k a year! All the more respect to those that get in.

    One can hope for the best! It’s always tough to get it right, but having a product you believe in and being able to clearly communicate on what and why you are doing is a huge step forward.
