?makers Is this community only for those who have been rejected by YC?

@tariksehovich How can they verify?

@tariksehovich @khalid_b - From what they said, 97% are rejected, so does it really need to have a verification?

@tariksehovich Hey Tarik! Not at all. We welcome those who are interested in applying for YC or other funding, or those who have been rejected from other accelerators.

What if you were rejected but then eventually accepted? Can you still join? 😉

@chrismessina 100%! rally's focus is sparking meaningful conversation around business growth, so anyone who has been through the process can definitely share a thing or two.

I like the concept of this idea. Good luck with it...hopefully you can extend it to all type of rejection and how you can turn every rejection into an opportunity

@marouf_khan yep, for now focusing on helping fellow entrepreneurs because the startup space is such a competitive ecosystem, but that's the right thinking for sure. Let us know if you have suggestions on how we can provide more value to those who have failed!

@ryan_kaufman18 and I have noticed a substantial increase in the number of submissions to Y Combinator, making it harder than ever to get accepted. Rally is a powerful community of rejected YC applicants, looking for support and pursuing alternative growth strategies. Join the community to partake in meaningful conversations that will inspire what’s next for your business - because rejection isn’t failure, just a redirection. ⭐️ We’re excited to get to know you more! Let us know in the comments what you'd like to see and any feedback you have! Join us here: https://www.welcomerally.com/?re... ⭐️

Worst discussion board I've seen yet. Just another Slack wannabe. Also, after signing up and then returning to the site, I was asked to fill in the form data again. WTF? And then there's the issue that you can't really post a reply to someone's post that forms a thread. Everything just gets thrown into the channel's root. What a f#&% mess. And why limit it to YC rejects only? Seriously? There are people who have never applied to YC yet would be interested in a discussion. Go start a Slack channel to hold a discussion about YC rejects. This is NOT a product folks.
