In fact, they were part of our third batch of startups. They launched too early in my opinion. They probably could have come back from that, if they'd worked hard to iterate the site, but they didn't. Pollground wasn’t the first YC funded company to launch.

Use the limited release to get the needed user feedback (I have found that only a small number of users is actually necessary to identify the Big Glaring Holes). Iterate a few times based on this feedback and then release out to the larger community. This way, you're getting somewhat the best of both worlds. I think you’ve got the right approach.
