Inside the Group Partner Lounge: What to do when an investor says no to invest in your startup. Our saying at YC is, believe the no, don't believe the why. Investors may have a passing understanding of what you're doing, but almost by definition, there's something new and novel about it. And you are the expert, not the investor.
Step inside the Group Partner Lounge to hear Y Combinator Group Partners Harj Taggar, Michael Seibel and Brad Flora discuss how you should handle rejection from investors and why you should "believe the no, not the why."
