Can u pivot and apply the second time to the same batch if the first didn’t work out?

Hi there, just had a quick question. We have two ideas that we’ve been working on, and we see the potentials for both of them. Although definitely one has a bigger priority and we’ve finished building the MVP and we are preparing for applying the summer batch. But just wondering, if the first idea got rejected, is it possible to apply for the summer batch again with the second idea? Thanks.

@sezna apply w/ the idea you have more traction in

@sezna Very unlikely. As deadlines generally pass by unless they extend or love you so much where they ask you to bring a new idea because they like you not the product etc.

@sezna I assume you can but that’s definitely gonna be a yellow flag - founders not committed to a single idea

@grounded but isn't it that yc loves founders pivoting?
