YCombinator Fellowship Fake Acceptance Letter

22 days ago we turned in a application to YCombinator Fellowship for our startup www.topchart.io. As you can imagine, we were pretty excited and optimistic.

Today, I got an acceptance letter, saying they would call me to set up a meeting. I was laughing. I called everybody to tell them. My friends, family, investors.

Then I realized the email was fake.

Whoever this guy/girl is that sent this out probably scraped them from somewhere, since YC assured me they weren’t hacked. Either way it’s pretty fucked up, although I admit it’s kinda funny too.

If you feel really bad for us, come use our site and help us keep pretending we got in.

Sincerely,

TopChart Team

Here is the letter :(
