seems like every single one of the companies listed already launched and had coverage...wasn't demo day in the past the time for that first look?

- abossy 17y agoYCombinator compete among themselves for the attention of the investors to which they present. Launching early and gaining users gives you an edge up on the competition. I would imagine this batch of YC companies (24, bigger than ever before) has learned from past groups and are responding as such. This is merely a guess -- PG or a current YCer could comment more accurately.
- immad 17y agoDemo day was never about first look or press. It has always been about investors. It is unlike TC50 and DEMO in that respect. Though it does give some marginal press. Edit: I half think press should be banned from the event. I always found it annoying giving details that only investors should hear with press present.
