I am a bit puzzled by OneLocal.
It looks like it's a review generation / marketing automation / CRM solution for small businesses.
Just off the top of my mind, i can think of the following venture backed companies that do the same (at least on the reviews / marketing for SMB front):
- BirdEye
- Podium.com
- DemandForce
- Signpost
- Yodle
- Womply
- Broadly.com
- Yext
What am I missing?

- giarc 9y agoMy initial thoughts were they weren't focusing on a single aspect that local businesses need. Seems like a broad set of features. My opinion is to start small and build from one or two solid features that your customers love.
- rm2904 9y agoBased on my understanding, YC doesn't invest in just one company in an industry. They invest in markets and founders. Because they are investing at an early stage, they choose to invest in multiple ones. Startups are tricky and it's really difficult to pick a winner early in a company's lifecycle.
