Questions for PG/ Jon: How many active users, and founders did DailyBooth have when it applied to YC?

• pg 17y ago
  They had (and still have) two founders. According to Compete, they had on the order of 40-50k uniques a month, but that may be US only. http://siteanalytics.compete.com/dailybooth.com/ http://siteanalytics.compete.com/dailybooth.com/ I just went back and looked at their application to figure out how we realized they were good. Their answers were very clear and concise; they obviously understood their users well. Plus they had both done interesting stuff before.

    The article said 6.5 million uniques. The URL you gave claims 150k. I have always been confused by the various rankings but that seems a big difference.

      And Quantcast says they only have 9.2k US uniques! http://www.quantcast.com/dailybooth.com http://www.quantcast.com/dailybooth.com Obviously the data on these sites is crap. Whatever number Jon is quoting is presumably the most accurate, since he has the actual logs.

        I figure between 150K and 200K uniques (daily) based on Alexa and 5 sites that I have access to log files of. Alexa is pretty lousy in an absolute sense but if you can compare with known numbers it gets a lot more useable.

    It'd be really cool to see the responses, only of course, if Jon is comfortable with this.
