I have woken up in the middle of the night to check out Email. eagerly waiting..!!
I'm refreshing the page a zillion times.
How much reimbursement can we get for travel expenses? Per team.
they said they will cover all expenses
As a bootstrapped company, I would already be thrifty about travel with my own money, but I'd be even more thrifty with somebody else's.
So be thoughtful about your spending. Just because you can expense it, don't use it as an opportunity to charter a private jet, pop bottles of champagne and stay at the Four Seasons. :-)

Thanks, But I'm asking it because we are 3 co-founders in a team. so, as a bootstrapped company we can't afford to move with my 2 co-founders for an interview.
Check out this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBlN0MadgUo. They had a team of 4 founders in different parts of the world and they were all encouraged to be there for the meeting.
Ya. but I think it's fixed per team. However, I'm not sure!
Not yet - but checking my email obsessively!
if we have not been selected, then we get rejection mail?
Yes we should all get one either way.
Are you sure we get a rejection email?
Yep! From the FAQ: "You'll either receive an invitation to interview that contains details of our in-person meeting, or you'll get an email to say that we won't be interviewing you right now. If you aren't invited to interview, we hope that you don't get discouraged and that you continue with your pursuit to build something great."
Thank you.
nothing here
Is it 10 pm PT?
From http://www.ycombinator.com/apply/
1. If you want to apply, please submit your application online by 8 pm PT on October 3. Groups that submit early have a small advantage because we have more time to read their applications.
2. On October 24, by 10PM, we’ll invite the groups that seem most promising to meet us in Mountain View in early November. We’ll reimburse reasonable travel expenses.
Being they said 8pm PT on the previous line item, I would guess that it's 10pm PT for the invitations. So basically, three more long hours to go... Good luck!
