Our picks of promising companies from Y Combinator S16 Demo Day 2
- etrautmann 10y agoSort of a dreary view of the future - companies that provide anti-drone defense, gunshot localization as a service, and big-brotherish monitoring of worker efficiency (in sales).
- danvoell 10y agoDoes this type of slide show do anything besides give TechCrunch more clicks/page views? Do people like this style? I do not.
- outworlder 10y agoYes, it allows them to insert ads between the "slides".
- outworlder 10y agoIs it just me, or do some of these resemble more "traditional" companies? In the startup == growth sense.
- DelaneyM 10y agoDoes Techcrunch have any history of successfully picking winners from demo days? This just feels like an excuse to make an ad-rich slideshow.
- allistar 10y agoDoes Techcrunch have any history of not making ad-rich content? If they were focused picking winners they would be failing their fiduciary obligations as a news publisher.
- DelaneyM 10y agoPoint. But that's logically irrelevant. I still wonder whether common valley wisdom (as personified by TechCrunch) is a predictor of future success (of the uniquely valley-centric YCombinator program.)
