As our demo wasn't even accessed, we aren't going to pivot. I imagine we were declined because we didn't do a good enjoy job differentiating ourselves from an early YC graduate startup who claims to be doing something similar to us. To me,

I've been tweeting reminders as well, it never hurts to remind the community about an important deadline. More importantly, a new entrepreneur may not know about the YC program just yet and may have time to apply. Just looking out for the u

Agreed, if it's going to work... it's going to work. We submitted our app a week or so ago and haven't looked back.

I think the reason it didn't work was a combination of things, including the timeliness of launch. Six years ago the automotive industry was still in the 90's as far as their tech knowledge went, and were stuck on platforms like AutoTrader.

I'll visit the site if not to buy a logo, but a great place to start when thinking about a name for a startup. Good food for thought.

The option can sound enticing for startups that are grounded in Russia who don't have many more options. However, like another user said below... it's really just paying you to complete the product, like they're contracting you to build you

This may be in part due to the prices of private jets going through the floor and owners are unable to continue trading up or selling them. I know someone with a Citation II that went from 3 million to less than 1 million in just two years.

I use under 2GB per month but with so much going mobile, I can easily see myself pushing that limit soon. Cell phone carriers shouldn't be afraid of growth.

Babies grow far to quickly for parents to subscribe to a single plan and the stockpile would be far too much to maintain... on a startup budget. Why not try an exchange network, user to user?

Build a prototype first under a dev name, ours was 'Festy' until we unveiled the name. If it's a Premium Domain for $3,000+ on GoDaddy, it won't likely sell anytime soon. But, even if it did, it isn't the end of the world. Wait until you ha

I'm excited about this project and even more excited that we were able to utilize it with our startup. I know these guys personally and this is only the beginning... I promise you.

I actually like the privacy settings, people just call it a 'nightmare' because they haven't taken the time to figure it out. They're like "where's the do it all button?"...

Yes, but be cautious. Sometimes you have to talk to them for a bit to get them to care. You'll eventually learn the 'buying signals'.

I completely understand your struggle. I'm working on our startup with two other team members. We're all in our mid-twenty's, two of us married, one of us with a kid, working full-time (sometimes more-than-full-time jobs). We've been doing

Have I got a story to tell. I'm a founder of a bootstrapped startup in Central Florida, which is by all means on the opposite side of the world when it comes to tech. Got a great product and an excellent team but just struggling to break th
