Rejected Startups

In the startup game, getting rejected is just part of the journey. It's a testament to the fierce competition and the relentless pursuit of innovation. But every rejection carries with it a story of passion, dedication, and a dream that refuses to dim. It was on one such day, scrolling through my Twitter feed, that I stumbled upon a tweet by Jason, the founder of launch.co. His words resonated with me: "[To the 98%+ of folks who got rejected from YCombinator this cohort, please send us your application if you're looking for funding: yc@launch.co. We take ~60 meetings a week... the top 10% of those get to a second meeting (I see all of those!)]" This tweet wasn't just an offer; it was a beacon of hope. It was a reminder that rejection isn't the end, but often, a new beginning. Inspired by Jason's outreach and the countless startups striving for recognition, I felt a compelling urge to create a platform dedicated to those who've faced rejection. A space where their ideas could shine, where they could find support, and most importantly, where they could turn their setbacks into comebacks.
