Was initially planning to take part in YC as a route to internationlize this project. Am from tiny Singapore, and hence the need to get out of our country for this to scale.

Worth a short applying for the round 2013 still?

I'm assuming you mean 2012, but yes.

YC has funded competitors in the past. Notably with email CRM addons where YC basically funded all the major players in the market (Etacts, Xobni and Rapportive)
