First look at YC Demo Day
- sherman 19y agoCongrats to all the founders, the launched betas look promising.
- nickb 19y agoWhich team is doing video dating?
- pg 19y agoThey're one of the ones that aren't launched yet. 3/4 of this batch aren't launched yet.
- rokhayakebe 19y agoCan we get some hints here? That's like the third best thing after not making it ( the 2nd being we reviewed our product and made it better)
- dhouston 19y agoRTFA. the blog post lists a 2-3 word blurb for each company in the first paragraph.
- rokhayakebe 19y agoDude. I need more than that. Anyone could have predicted that. Thats not info
- rms 19y agoObviously they haven't launched, but you can imagine that a video dating site is a lot like OKCupid, except everyone has the capability of sending video messages and doing live video chats. They also get to sell webcams, for those that don't have them.

- schoudha 19y agoWhen are we getting a feature to ban users? Although I agree that anywhere.fm is not clear winner the way you present yourself prevents anyone from taking you seriously.

- weeblyrocks 19y agoIt's interesting that fanboy posts which have no logic or intelligence are perfectly acceptable but when someone who says something negative comes along, the question of "banning" users comes up. That doesn't sound very democratic or intelligent.
- rms 19y agoLook, I don't like fanboy posts either. But what you linked to is the exact opposite -- it's Paul Graham hate stuff that wants to prove that Paul Graham sucks. What's the point? If you hate him so much, why are you using his site? This anti YC propaganda completely dismisses Paul Graham and Y Combinator because most of the companies aren't successes. So what? Some are succesful. Most aren't runaway successes. Paul Graham and partners are making money. What's the big deal? Calm down. No one wants to ban you.
- weeblyrocks 19y agoThanks. I appreciate your candid feedback. If you look at most of my posts, I'm trying to be helpful in guiding other entrepreneurs (e.g. LLCs vs. S Corps vs. C Corps).

- ashu 19y agoI just don't understand why some of these guys are so hell bent on disparaging YC. Whether YC is right or not, time will tell and it's YC that has to worry about it. But, what do _these other people_ gain out of it?
- bootload 19y ago"... The companies were much higher quality than I expected. The founders were nearly all coders and hackers but did a surprisingly good job at presenting their idea, target market, and business model ..." ~ Don Dodge Is YC being embraced by the larger VC community? If so, this is a further tick of approval of the YC techniques used to get startups to market. The quoted comments are a remarkable turn-around in opinion from Don Dodge ('Since when does growing $4 Billion a year = Dead?') and It's great to see the candidates flexing their skills of persuasion. Selling the idea(s) as much as building it. How much effort went into making sure other VC's could also see the new recruits?

- nanijoe 19y agoI personally liked anywhere.FM on first use. There may be other sites that provide the same features, but I don't know them. My first instinct is to use the website to share my music with my brother who lives on another continent
- zach 19y ago"A stock-picking community?" Worthio two-point-oh?
