It's honestly shocking that people still buy options. You'd think they'd learn. But I guess online gambling is bigger than ever.

After 6 applications and 6 rejection emails, we finally got into Y Combinator. Yes, read that one more time: 6 applications. 6 rejections. We turned a rejection into an admission offer. For a long time, every rejection led to the same question: "Do we pivot, or keep going?" We didn't think much of the first few rejections. Our reaction was mostly just: okay, back to building, apply again next time. Honestly, the hardest one was the 5th rejection because we felt so close. It was the first time we got an interview. We believed we had a real shot. But in the end, we got rejected… again. Looking back, the decision was fair. We were only doing around $300/month, and YC didn’t see a clear path to building a billion-dollar company through enterprise. So we stopped guessing and started listening. We did 20+ user interviews and realized something important: the people who really loved InsForge were not big enterprises. They were AI-native small teams and startups. That fundamentally changed how we saw the company. We clarified who the product was actually for, doubled down on what was working, and kept building in public on X and LinkedIn. We grew from 2,300 to 4,000+ databases in 2 months. Then we applied again. Our second interview with YC. We really thought this would be the one. But once again, we were rejected. That was the moment the question we had been asking ourselves after every rejection finally changed. No longer: “Do we pivot?” Instead: “How do we execute so well that the need for this product becomes impossible to ignore?” After 30 days of hell, we launched @InsForge_dev Launch Week 1. And it took off. Like, really took off! → 1.5M+ views on X → #1 on Product Hunt → #1 on GitHub Trending → 3K+ GitHub stars in one week But here's the craziest part: after rejecting us, YC changed their mind. Here was our second chance. We got an email from general partner Andrew Miklas (@amiklas), congratulating us on our launch and asking us to meet one more time. We figured it would be another tough interview. But the meeting was in two hours. No time to prepare. We were so nervous up until the very end. When we finally hopped on the call, he just said, “You guys have made huge progress. I want to work with you. Do you want to do YC?” WTF????????? Tony (@tonychang430) and I looked at each other. We were so shocked, we didn't even know what to say. Of course, the answer was yes. This is when we learned: Execute so well that your company becomes impossible to reject. Every rejection forced us to clarify our vision. The last one forced us to prove it. Next stop: YC P26!! @ycombinator 🥳 ( Read the full story below ⬇️ )

@TeamYouTube @willia_mbrown Will I suggest legal action. YouTube is a ghost company, they won't respond to this or provide any support. You need to threaten them with a lawsuit or this ticket will sit in purgatory forever. It's likely an AI banned you and no human at youtube knows about this problem.

Stupid fuck🖕🏻..now go ahead and block me so I can’t respond

Banned for an entire week because I said I don't give a fuck about the opinions of illiterate third worlders. Would someone be banned for saying they don't care about what an American's opinion is on the Middle East? Of course not Blatant double standard, I didn't break ToS

@CoffeeCakeDev @AdameMedia @Asmongold I would argue. He’s more intelligent than you, and more successful obviously… He’s a multimillionaire from streaming those video games… you’re just some turd on the Internet that no one’s ever heard of. Congratulations, you’re an irrelevant piece of shit.

@ask1087 This is a thing that exists only on the internet. In real life, human to human, people do not operate like that.

@AdameMedia @Asmongold Asmon might just be an idiot Texan. There's a lot of them that will die for Israel willingly. Despite his confident tone and eyebrow raising he isn't an intelligent person. He was terrible at every video game he played despite doing it full time as a streamer.

@Asmongold I’m against censorship but you’re such a pathetic coward with that false equivalence. All you’ve done this year is prove to the world you’re a scumbag. You’ll always be the war supporting Zionist freak who supported burning Iranian children alive.

@RespectfulMemes Majority of consumer spending is done by top 10% of households. CEOs that can take 3 hour lunches or their house wifes on shopping sprees. Most retail businesses aren't intended for normal people working 9-5 jobs.

@BrotherofYaa @iamufohunter True, and worse psychos are over-represented in positions of power. It's a trait that's beneficial for getting elected.
