If you applied to YC this cycle, please put your email address in your profile

275 pointsby pgقبل 15 سنة35 comments

Tonight we're going to email everyone who applied for summer 2011. We use the email address in the email field of the HN account used to apply. So if you applied, please check that you have a working email address (not foobar AT gmail.com) in the email field of your profile.

(That field is not publicly visible, as you can see if you try logging out and looking at your profile.)

If you want to live chat about applications and acceptances with prior YC founders and other applicants, you can do so in the Convore (a YC W2011 company)

I'm there intermittently answering questions.

Nice!

bmeltonقبل 15 سنة

Better -- just put your email address in your 'about' section as well. If not, you are probably missing out on contact from other HNers.

hoagقبل 15 سنة

Agreed. In fact, I just list all my most important contact info: LinkedIn, email, twitter, even Quora and our startup's FB page.

Heh - yep. I had a guy who had to track me down via whois on a domain name I put in a comment because I didn't have my email anywhere...

You can also chat about applications over at the wompt chat room - we've been going strong all night!

I prefer this chat interface over convore.

At least it's readable. Convore hurts my eyes =/

They will send all the emails at once "something this evening CA time".

i Guess i need to go home and have some sleep (already 9pm). Can't stay there waiting for that email. I guess, i'll wake up in the night to work on the product: a way to say to myself, getting the interview is not the end, finishing those damn map-reduce jobs is :-)

Has the idea of adding a field to the application itself for a founder's email address already been discussed?

issaقبل 15 سنة

I think this way it is an application test in its own right. (double checking my own account before hitting 'reply')

astrofinchقبل 15 سنة

Only obsessive HN readers who see PG's post will get funded? :P

arvinjoarقبل 15 سنة

They do tell applicants to check HN daily in the instructions.

astrofinchقبل 15 سنة

Fair enough.

kirillzubovskyقبل 15 سنة

My co-founder (@peterkchen) and I ended up building a private prototype over the last two weeks, in case we get an interview, but after working on it all last night and crafting a bunch of cool new ideas, I am pretty confident that we are going full speed forward either way. Being with YC would just help to be make the product even better. Alright, we'll know soon enough where the road goes. Good luck folks!

pg: Can you add a note to the profile settings page that the email field isn't publicly visible? This still confuses people all the time.

pgقبل 15 سنة

There is a message that says that if the email field is empty.

cdrقبل 15 سنة

I kind of suspect people fill the field in and then forget about that, though.

prayagقبل 15 سنة

The letters have started coming in. Good luck to everyone. :)

Hi, I just realized there's a question to our application that I didn't see until now. I just responded to it and also emailed Harj. Thanks lien

nkassisقبل 15 سنة

It would be cool to have an in HN messaging system. I know it's a lot to ask :) Just a proposal.

IsaacLقبل 15 سنة

I believe there's a secret messaging system only available to founders accepted by YC.

anateusقبل 15 سنة

there's also a pool on the roof

DarrenLymanقبل 15 سنة
