YC totally got a recipe.Paul G.tell us what it is. It has to be more than "Make something people want".

YC's recipe is: make people make something people want.

Seriously, making something people want was exactly what the Zenters did. Everyone could see at Demo Day that they'd made something users would like.

So if you make things that other want, did zenter purposefully make it's product to fill the gap in google office? If so it's a risky (ballsy) strategy to compete head to head with google if they have announced their intentions. What I want to know is what happened in the following 2 months?

Was zenter X times better than the internal version?
