Title: I’m not the type of person that you’ll hear commenting all the time here on Hacker News. Fact is, I couldn’t stop and see all these people feeling bad about them because YC rejected them.<p>I’m not interesting in applying to YC. Come on, you don’t need YC to succeed. You don’t need them. Many of you guys are just here because you think YC would be the salvation to your startup. Don’t kid yourself.<p>If you feel bad because you got rejected, because you lost the “golden mentorship” and the 10,000 grand, then you shouldn’t be doing your startup in first place.<p>You should believe in your idea and go on, even if the other people don’t see what you can see. Thomas Edison didn’t stop because everyone believed he was nuts. Henry Ford didn’t stop back then, the Google guys didn’t stop, and you shouldn’t stop.<p>Keep going, keep moving, don’t let fear or rejection stop you. Never.
