The call from YC after the fourth application

Yeah.

no matter what you tell us, our customers tell us differently. They tell us that they won't feel. So like no one believed in us, obviously. And when we're like, no, we are not going to give up. just customers kept believing in us and they told us how much, how important this is for them. And in March, 2024, that's when we had like almost nothing, like 80 cents and we were going to get like get evicted. And we applied to YC for the fourth time we applied to YC. And we did an interview with our group partner, Brad, in February. it took us like, usually, YC let you know the decision within a day, but I think it was during the other batch. So I think it took us like two weeks or three weeks, and it was the longest time ever. we could, in my life, we could not sleep, we could not eat. We were like, my God, what's happening?

In your life.

And one day Brad calls us and Brad tells us, he wants to talk again. We're like, okay, he goes to the call. And then he tells us, okay, guys, we want to invest in you. And we were like, okay. We didn't believe, it was like, everything was so bad. And the fact that Brad's telling us like, guys, we want to invest, like, okay. And then he repeats. And then we just like exploded. were like. my God, we just started screaming and then Brad was just like very calm. just sit in there. Let us just take a breath. And yeah, and then everything changed from there. And then from there, we go to SF. We, we start building and we decided we want to do the mission. The last, the previous mission we just launched. So we decided and we, yeah, we build that in five months and yeah, now we are here.

but actually it's so remarkable at the same time it shows you how much you want this because if someone goes all in, this is the exact definition of going all in. like you see facing, 80 cents. Great. But we do not.
