We received our rejection as well. As much as you try to tell yourself say it is not a big deal, it still hurts. You question much of what you are doing. I have been grinding on many unsuccessful projects for a while now, and it's hard to stay positive.
The funny thing is, we had no intention to apply to YC originally, but once we did, you start to dream about how it could change your life. How that might be the defining boost and help you need to succeed.
The nice thing about cofounders is they help you stay positive. We are currently working on game related software, which is not exactly your typical YC company, but we thought it was a decent enough concept. We plan to keep pushing forward, maybe try a kickstarter.
Unfortunately this means I will have to go back to getting a job again, with $36.43 in my bank account, I pretty much am on empty...
