Y Combinator Applicant Video Collection
- citizenkeys 16y agoThis link is actually part of my ycombinator application idea. It has some "stealth" features that I haven't yet implemented. I also applied last funding session and have continued to work on this. Anybody got any feedback?
- baddox 16y agoWhy doesn't the site say what startup corresponds to each link?
- citizenkeys 16y agoBecause the videos generally don't have that information.
- ammmir 16y agoyou should prune the 404's. thanks for posting this, though. some of these are hilarious and great examples of what not to do!
- shawnee_ 16y agoWould the YC team mind sharing which of the "accepted" W11 bunch submitted a video in lieu of / in addition to their applications? I was a YC applicant once - 2007 as a single-person founder. Although I personally would never do a video, it is an interesting idea.
- citizenkeys 16y agoI did this same page last funding session and submitted it to Hacker News: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1862327 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1862327 Most of the applicants submitting video will gladly tell you which video is their and discuss it, which is one of the fundamental ideas of the site. I'm applying with AV Squid again this funding session.
- kunjaan 16y agoIt is inspiring to see a lot of young and super excited people super passionate about providing a social twist to the world.
- glasner 16y agoWow, I really see what PG meant about scripted videos now. After a few takes I unintentionally created a script in my head. I had to walk away from it for a couple days and ended up doing my video on my next take. Finally, it sounded like me instead of a robot.
- mbrightman 16y agoHey you found our video! We're the fourth one (Moral Fibers).
- glasner 16y agoLove the passion, but you might want to rerecord it. The high pitch squeal is unbearable.
- mbrightman 16y agoThanks! And sorry for the high pitch squeal, our web dev/hacker extraordinaire is working on it as we speak.
- lifestyleigni 16y agoHey you found our video too! (We're the SpotHero one)
- pawn 16y agoHey, I have a video for you to add to the list of Summer 2011 applicants. http://gamerhighway.posterous.com/ http://gamerhighway.posterous.com/
