My startup makes it easy for everyone to create bingo cards for YC demo day. The TAM is like 20; we launched less than two weeks ago and our customers love us. We're the most viral YC bingo card generator ever, so if you're passionate about bingo, come talk to us. To sum up: viral, social, big data.

Having seen the demos yesterday, I can tell you that you will get "blackout" if you play.
However, I also want to note that this was the best set of presentations I've ever seen at a demo day.
Sure they use a lot of the same words and phrases, but that's because they are all trying to communicate the same thing in just 2 minutes: We're awesome and you should give us money to be more awesome.

> Correlated with being the best batch yet!
I very specifically didn't say that. ;)
I know you probably meant it in jest, but really each batch has some great folks in it, and no batch is really "better" than any other. I wouldn't want anyone else to get a complex, since startup founders can be a sensitive bunch. :D

Downside of all practicing together for the past 5 days straight at YC HQ? Yup. But I love the pitches, I feel like they got so much better from rehearsal to now
