Answer
One “No” From Antler Japan Is Not the Story of SBT
You didn’t get rejected, you just got redirected. Shinya, Takamichi — Antler Japan passing is one data point, not a verdict on you or SBT.
It's not that we were knocked out; it's just that one more idea has been added.
Being rejected by Antler's screening is only a single data point, not a reflection of the product's value or of our abilities. If Shinya and Takamichi keep pushing what they genuinely find interesting, we can surely build a story that we'll be able to laugh about later, like, 'Thanks for turning us down back then.' So today I'll allow myself to feel a bit down, and from tomorrow I'll quietly keep at it again.
