Rejected with http://www.appodeal.com/ http://www.appodeal.com/ (squeeze more revenues from mobile ad networks) Have been working on it for almost a year now and really close to break even. Probably, because I am the only founder.

Awesome site! Really really well done.

  Apparently, not well enough, haha. Anyway, it might be a good thing after all.

    One of the last things YC cares about is your landing page. Yours is pretty good, don't sweat it. Edit: To clarify, a good landing page is important but the other things like team, demo, video, and well written answers are more important IMO.

      Well, it took like 3 months to make it look like this. First version was much worse. Luckily we had enough time to polish it up before public launch.

If you're "close to break even" that implies you're getting revenue somewhere. But your site says your product is free. So where is the money coming from?

  We don't charge publishers. Appodeal makes money by selling to direct advertisers in bulk at a higher rate. Basically we charge advertisers, rather than publishers.

This is very similar to the mediation tool Heyzap (YC W09) https://www.heyzap.com https://www.heyzap.com has.

  True. Hard to object. Just to double check, are you from YC?

Here's my video that I submitted to YC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdR_2AODciE&feature=youtu.be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdR_2AODciE&feature=youtu.be Might be useful for someone in the future.
