YC has funded a startup that uses Microsoft .NET, so I don't see why they would rule out funding one that uses Java. http://www.splashup.com/ http://www.splash

- johns 18y agoAre they really considered a .NET startup? The actual app itself is Flash. Just having the corp site in aspx doesn't make them a .NET shop. Loopt has some .NET in their architecture and Sam Altman told me at startup school that it was never an issue with YC. To answer the question though, I believe I've heard in a few places that they don't care what you use, as long as you are building something worth funding.
- brlewis 18y agoThe best way to answer your first question is to look in their job listings, or in this case their blog. This is something I learned from PG's story of looking at competitors' job listings in his Viaweb days. They want (or wanted) someone with "Heavy experience with C# and/or .NET in general". That makes me think Flash isn't the only important technology for them.
