Title: Our startup was in an accelerator previous to applying to YC, and this was the reason why we were rejected after the interview. I understand the concern that we should already be &quot;accelerated&quot; by now but its hard to compare the previous program we were in to the caliber of YC.<p>Why does being in an accelerator pre-YC lessen your YC chances? Has anyone had similar experiences with this? Are there any YC alumni that had their company in an accelerator pre-YC?
