Andrew Peek, CEO of Rocketr, describes his team’s experience pitching their idea to high profile VC Paul Graham (PG). He shares this forthright opinion:

Only now, having been tested by the pressures of a ticking clock and the questions of an impatient (and widely respected) mind, do I have the courage to say that the reason we didn’t get into YC was because I didn’t know my business well enough.

A fantastic lesson, one I’d bet makes the Rocketr team stronger in the long run. Entrepreneurs, please give us more stories like this.
