I know one company that was rejected by yc that is happily investor free, profitable, and doing quite well for themselves.
I know another guy that was rejected from YC and just sold his company to another company all of you have heard of.
YC is great, but it's one of many paths. Every time I read, "YC rejected me but....." it sounds like "Harvard rejected me, but somehow my life didn't end."
Sometimes you wonder how a company managed to exit with their idea but people count for so much. I have friends that, if they had the dumbest idea in the world, I would put my money down because betting against them is a losing game. If it sounds ludicrous, is because you've never had friends like that.
