Well, it's Canada. Sharing sufficient information to demonstrate there's no money here seems pretty sensible to me (hey I'm a student doing this part time and the app's only been downloaded 500 times @ 1.99 each and apple keeps 30%... so I'

tl;dr - Being sued for using a publicly available API is a reach. If there's an issue, it's Nextbus that has a problem as well as everyone, and anything that touches their API. If it was me, I'd reply with a certified letter explaining you

I wrote Big Brother ( http://bb4.com ), and it was 99.5% free (until we sold out to Quest/Dell). Originally a lot of our revenue came from support. We just offered 3 tiers of support. For $250 a year we'd answer emails. For $500 we promi

Well, managing to stay alive for 3 years is something... ultimately when you're doing a startup, either you believe in the product (and by proxy, the management), or you don't. And you should be asking them these questions.

"Get off the cross, we need the wood". Equating human tragedy with an application to YC is inane. It's an application, that's all it is. Apply next time. Or drop a note to pg with an explanation if it's that important to you.

The hurricane wasn't a surprise... the effects shouldn't have been a surprise. If you're going to run a startup, this is a good test of being prepared for a (known, impending, likely) shit tsunami, and being agile, and resourceful, and flex
