I assume you plan on raising money? In your case, you would likely get even more than a 6% valuation bump, making YC worth it on that alone.<p>I think there are some key details missing in this post which make it hard to tell why you were in fact rejected. In addition to the accelerator, you&#x27;ve also been going at it for 3+ years, and are only now hitting 1M For B2B, that is unfortunately on the really slow end of things for growth (read Jason Lemkins quora posts for whay to expect for typical bootstrapped busineeses). The fact that you&#x27;re a leader already in this market, and growth is that slow, is maybe an indicator the market doesn&#x27;t have much potential. On the other hand it might also just be that you&#x27;re in a market that is new, so the potential is there and others just don&#x27;t see it.
