Edwin Arbus Responds to Revoked Acceptance: Team Re-verifying Legit Startup Applications
edwinarbus · x · 2026-10-09
Responding to robj3d3's complaint of being accepted in 2 minutes then revoked in 2 days, Edwin Arbus publicly acknowledged the situation was ridiculous, said the team is re-verifying applications from legitimate startups, confirmed Rob is the founder of one, and apologized, with a follow-up email on next steps to come. The reply confirms the revocation was a vetting mix-up rather than the applicant's fault.
