We're a team of 3 freshmen college students who: - have an exciting idea that we think is going to disrupt the e-commerce space - are in the bay area and willing to dedicate a huge chunk of our time on the idea even if rejected from YC - have already started building on product, two of us are programmers (with great UI sense)
We are eager to apply for YC, but were wondering how being in college affects the YC application process. For example, what were some successful YC applicants (I know Sam Altman of Loopt was one) who applied while still in college and what they did about their college career?
We've launched with some success meaning we've acquired a strong userbase and impressed with our site stats, however we are not completely satisfied with our product as even we know there are some interface issues as well as more features that can be implemented.
I have made an exclusive invite for the HN community to test-drive my webapp: http://buzzblaze.com//register?invite_code=HNEWS
I am looking for constructive feedback and advice. I am new to this game and hope to build more stuff in the future and hope I can learn a lot from you guys.
Thanks!
