20 Sep 2024	Email	Y Combinator	Moe Sayadi, Max Atanassov	Thanks for applying to Y Combinator. We’re sorry to say that your startup was not selected for an interview for the upcoming batch. We carefully reviewed thousands of applications on a very tight timeline since announcing the fall batch just a few weeks ago, and unfortunately, this meant we had to turn away many promising companies. Unfortunately we can't give you individual feedback about your application. This page explains why. We hope you apply again in the future as you continue to make progress. In fact, we encourage it. Applying multiple times does not count against you and a surprisingly large number of companies are funded after applying more than once. Over 50% of the startups we accept are repeat applicants. Best of luck, —YC
