We're using existing couriers - instead of creating a new courier company, we make them more efficient and give them awesome tools.

The most important factor actually is the distance - but as i said we will have a more dynamic pricing soon. We wanted to launch with something that's easy to understand.

Eridius, this is great feedback. We can probably do a better job at describing this process. You do currently don't need to warp your deliveries with Postmates - so we're pretty flexible. Today our couriers can transport items that "one" pe

Brador, current pricing starts at $15 for a two hour delivery in San Francisco. We will switch to a more dynamic pricing pretty soon though. Thanks for sharing the Firefox bug.

Daniel, great question. Postmates uses professionals couriers, much more like Uber does with limo drivers. Our primary focus are also merchants and business that need to offer and exceptional deliver service to their clients. Our aim is to

We're thinking about that. For now we're enabling already existing couriers to be more efficient. We have over 30 of them on duty in San Francisco during business hours. However, we're looking to launch a crowdsourced feature as well.

We actually have a few users who translate tweets about the Egypt Jan 25 Protests on curated.by. It's not what we designed the product for but we thought that is an interesting use case and maybe it even helps someone get a better picture o

I like your ADstruct concept. Having worked with a couple of out of home media companies, i feel there is definitely space for innovation. If you don't have contacts to European media buyers, fell free to dope me a line.

This is a brilliant decision. I attended Startup School this weekend, and used the event and the surrounding parties to pitch our idea to at least 10+ Y-Combinator startups. Every time i pitched our company i learned something new and got g
