Comment on Here is my YC application. No interview

Comments

Given that the YC partners have a ton of applications to read, and given that your second sentence ("It simple.") suggests you didn't proofread your application, it's possible they didn't continue reading it.

"...people using traditional online dating loose hope..."

It is nitpicking, but when you're in ultra-intense competition with lots of other good applications, I'm sure these things matter at least on a subconscious level. If I were to apply, I'd proof-read my application until it was perfect.

Oh, and is it just me, or was this one very long? If this is the hundredth application you're reading, you might look at this and be scared off by its length. Not saying anything about the quality of the applicants -- I'm sure they're talented and motivated -- but this little text they're submitting is what gets them either in or out. It's important.
