That seems to have been a web startup, see http://daniellefong.com/2008/04/11/one-response-to-rejection...

Still food for thought that YC would reject a founder so obviously good (although perhaps not obviously then) as DaniFong..

I wonder if getting rejected was one of the reasons for her to start working on something more "zero to one", and closer to her area of expertise?
