How is this gonna make you a million dollars? You're applying to YC, this ain't a hobby project, so that's why this is a legit question.
For the record, it doesn't really solve a pain for me. Just a minor annoyance, and it's not something I'm willing to spend money on. If you're making this to an app, remember that app sales are just 1 time profits. And the profit gradually goes down as your app lifetime goes up. Is earning $300K once (this is optimistic) really a serious business model?

- amirmc 15y ago> You're applying to YC... If the OP is saying they're YCS11 then they're already in YC (that cohort is going through now). Your point about how they'll make money is still valid although it might be something they'll need to work out later (after they've 'made something people want').
- webwright 15y agoReally? If a million dollars is the target, just going through YC should do it for them. An acqui-hire deal generally nets more than $1M per founder. If you'd like an example of how this can be at least a $150M business, check http://www.crunchbase.com/company/plaxo http://www.crunchbase.com/company/plaxo
- Hisoka 15y agoSo they're just betting on an acquisition? How about explaining how they're gonna make money w/o resorting to that?
