Post your demos here too, plenty of other VCs that lurk who may be interested.

If there are other startup mentors, not VCs, lurking here who'd be interested in discussing a SaaS offering that will likely create a destabilizing event for the ediscovery market, please drop me a line. I've got five years in that market and a fair number of influential people interested.

Wow, really impressive demo vid.

But what's up with the multiplayer example at the end...no cofounder to play with the second iPhone with you? Or are they too busy holding the cam ;) ?

Good luck, looks really promising even if you don't get into YC!

Thanks, ha yeah I'm a single cofounder. I'm getting a lot of help now since announcing it, but technically still a single cofounder.

I was living in Chapel Hill/North Carolina at the time and didn't know many people there. I moved to SF on the 1st. Here to raise money and find cofounders for sure. All my good friends are up Vancouver/Canada where I'm really from.

Cool that you're representing Chapel Hill. I've always been very bearish on the startup potential of the RTP as a whole, but there are some shining stars in Chapel Hill. Durham and Raleigh are produce decent talent with Duke and NCSU, but only CH has a culture analogous to the West Coast.

(FYI, I'm an NCSU grad myself and spent high school and college in Raleigh)

I say no matter what you need to move here. Not coming here is like an Actor trying to get big without putting in anytime in Hollywood. It's orders and orders of magnitude more likely that you'll get funding here. You can always run your Company from back home to save costs or because you have more of a network.

It's not that complicated to move to another place for a while. Just get at least 10K together and go for it.

I'm in Chapel Hill - making plans to head out to SF myself in a few months. I applied to S11 with this: http://tribefind.com - it's like eHarmony for friends.

what tool(s) did you use to create that video? I love it! very impressive!
Re:Poll: Did you apply to YC for S11? by endergen on Monday March 21, 2011 @02:18AM (#2348696)
I used an Flipcam(~$80) mounted on a cheap camera-stand($30). recorded all the demos separately. Then used iMovie to clip them down as short as possible and then used the iMovie text transitions to create the Chapter text. Finally I used youtube's free music from their AudioSwap feature.

Note: Some of the mini-clips are slightly sped up to make them less boring. Which I think lends a subtle exaggerated energy to the scenes.

Your submission intersects with mine, but not the same. Thanks for posting.
