Founder Worries About Y Combinator

The only reason I can think of that Y Combinator would not accept Passdown into their program is me. I could be to crazy for them. Oh there is probably a long list of reason as why startups do not get accepted into an accelerator and YC points out "Because, paradoxical as it sounds, there often is no reason."
Now that is the hardest reason to swallow, NO REASON. : - ) 


I found that I'm starting to get worried about getting rejected again, and my team has not even submitted the application. I think the worry this time around is not so much for me, but for my cofounder Wael. He is so excited about this possible opportunity and if we get rejected, I think he will be a bit sad.

Yes, I kind of am wired a bit on the wild side. Aren't all of us creative people? My lawyer said  "recognize that it will come down to whether they want to take a chance on you given that your background is a bit different than many of the other apps." Yep, but it is my different background that gives me the ideas to think up startup ideas.

However different my background is, I sure hope my teams application does not hinge on that fact alone. I would be in great distress if I was the reason my team does not get selected. Surely the judgement of YC would not rest on a persons life path. Even though YC says "The people in your group are what matter most to us."

Okay then, I should be fine as long as they accept crazy people into their program.
