Hey YC Aspirants, This a fun experiment. But also useful as we used 100+ real YC application data for the core analysis. The bot analyses your YC application on 13 key parameters and will share 3 key reasons for rejection.
Hey YC Aspirants,
Here is a fun project. Get a rejection email for your YC application.
While you all wait with abated breadth for the acceptance/rejection of your YC application, use this fun tool to get an early rejection. :-)
We did analyze 100+ real YC applications (both accepted and rejected ones). While there may be many explained and unexplained reasons why YC might reject your application, we found 13 key aspects that were most common across all these applications.
So, we built a prompt-based decision engine that will give you 3 reasons why you are (or may get) rejected by YC.
Try and have fun. And some learning, too.

Great idea, seems helpful.
One question, what are you doing with the information you collect about each business and their startup ideas?
I think this is great for building resilience to anyone looking to apply to YC. Learning to get rejected is probs the key to building something successful. Not everyone is going to like your idea at first, that doesn’t mean it’s not good.
Nice fun experiment! But why do I need to fill out the application again? 😀. I love the idea and the rejection email!
Thanks for creating this, Siva! It's a unique way to cope with the waiting anxiety.
wow this is actually really interesting. will definitely make use of it as I had an YC application I was considering submitting soon 😅
I had been working in fintech for a while, and one of our partner banks advertised their new API as being able to return mortgage loan approval just in 5 minutes. Well, upon integration, the first results were more like "decline in 30 seconds". So it's like a flashback for me: get a rejection, fast!
Jokes aside, feedback is crucial, many thanks to you for releasing this
@siva_surendira Hi Siva, Kudos to YC Rejection Fun for adding a touch of humor to the startup journey. Using data-driven insights, it offers a playful preview of potential rejection reasons. A unique and entertaining tool for YC aspirants in the waiting game.
Congratulations on the launch of this insightful and innovative experiment for YC aspirants!
