Promising B2B/SaaS startups from YC demo day
- mattmanser 13y agoI'd bet on unbable & abacus. Both huge untapped markets. Unbable especially with providing translation services for customer support to allow earlier entry into European and Asian markets for american startups. Abacus because expenses are a real pain and make employees unhappy. If I could short algolia I would. Just seems to be generating buzz as it sounds developer cool, but is not a practical solution. Perhaps I misunderstand it.
- jlemoine 13y agoWe have received tons of positive feedback about our product, but we also want to have feedback of people like you. Can you give us the reason why you think this is not a practical solution ?
- mattmanser 13y agoIt's a combination of: 1. Keeping all your data in constant sync with a third party 2. You'd obviously have to do a sanity check now and then, even more code 3. Search isn't that important on most sites, 2.5% of visitors use ours 4. Trusting what is some of your most business critical information to a third party 5. Extra point of failure We have an autocomplete (with all the 'reinvented' features you list), but it sorely needs some TLC to handle mis-spellings. I like the idea of that kind of easy to use auto-complete. But on my server. As I say, perhaps I'm not the target market.
- vammok 13y agoAbacus is a pretty solid product, but the market seems a bit small...
- mattmanser 13y agoAre you serious? Every business with 1 or more consultant or sales person deals with expenses and they're a right PITA for all involved (employee, manager, accountants), the market is huge.
