A friend of mine who completed YC told me that there was a guy who got rejected 4 or 5 times before getting accepted. Just remember always be positive and keep working hard :)

Cheers!

Hey Hansy, the items are new or vintage items that come from their creators/brands, not necessarily donated. You could even go as far as to imagining ordering a baked pie for example that could either be delivered or shipped to you and part of the proceeds goes to a great cause. The types of items are either consumable or e-commerce goods.

There has to be a strategy here. Either they are incredibly intelligent and not disclosing this strategy or they are banking on mass downloads to figure it out in real time?.. Either way this is going to be a great case study for business to-do's or dont's.

Guys- I think being an entrepenuer is seriously what matters. Once you make money what do you do with it? Spending it gets boring so you start a new challenge. What's important is that you stick with what your doing and be the best at it! I also think at the least applying for Y combinator is at the bare minimum an exercise that is good for understanding your product better.
