Comment on If we reveal our idea in our YC app and don't accept, would YC possibly recommend it to other, participating teams?

They're going to give your ideas to your closest competitors. Haven't you heard of Competitor Day?

But seriously, ideas are totally worthless. I thought my totally awesome idea for a productivity site was worth a billion dollars too. And I built it and released it, and you know what? Nobody cared, and rightly so, because it was poorly executed. Now I'm playing catch-up with the design by making things cleaner, streamlined, and simple. That is what matters, not whatever your idea is. Though it's not until you've been steamrolled by brett and his clickable calendar that one can really understand that, maybe. :)
