For S17, I got my invite at 8:14pm EST.
3 Industries that's gonna be changed because of Video Communication
Is YC going to read all these recommendations or is it going to be only forwarded to the person applying?
I'm glad it was helpful for all of you (my most popular article thus far!). Feel free to follow me on medium! I love writing about startups and how to keep everyone happy, including your customers.
And that the next wave of innovation will be platforms that supports this.
What was your growth rate for the first 3 months of launching Gobble and how did you acquire your first batch of users?
Also, "I just searched my email for "sit this one out", "going to pass", "won't get there", "not the right fit", and "not going to get to the finish line", and I think we're at 200+."
Is that "200+" denials for VC/angel funding??
Determining 'growth' in SAAS companies
YC and all VC's want a lot of growth in your startup and we all hear of the 'this company has gained 100,000+ users in the last 2 months!', but for SAAS companies...this is nearly impossible sometimes.So what is considered 'good' for SAAS companies? I guess I'm trying to find a goal to hit.
You can also go to meetup.com and find stuff you're interested in.
Bars are fun, I guess, but usually people go with groups so meehhhhh.
Group B: Group A isn't informed. If they were, they would vote for Group B.
One of the main reasons why people don't vote is not being informed enough. Let's be honest, we hate the media and a lot of people don't know WHAT to believe anymore.
So do you have any plans on educating the people to think more logically and look at statistics for example when choosing to vote? Of course I'm not suggesting you to have any bias towards any candidates, but rather educate the people on what they vote for.
So whenever they create an activity, the location is automatically pulled for the other users.
We DO have the chat functionality already there, but we didn't want them coordinating the meetup location on there because we think that's too complicated.
Apply HN: Wiredhere|Connecting you to Fitness partners and trainers near you
Website: www.wiredhere.comWhat we do: Wiredhere is a mobile app that allows users to find partners or trainers in sports and fitness. Tennis, gym, and even basketball partners will be easily accessible within the app; as well as knowing who the best trainers are due to our rating system.How: Users simply choose their facility or university they attend, the activities they're interested in,...
WHAT WE DO: www.wiredhere.com
We integrate every social activity (university created or student created) happening within an university into a mobile app. The students can attend and provide feedback through the app; we than take the analytics that's created and provide it to universities so they can assess and compare themselves to other universities.
QUESTION:
Do you think it's more optimal approach this as a SAAS for the university since we provide them a brand new web platform to make event creation easier and so they can reach students in a faster way? OR be a non-saas and introduce this to the students first and let the universities catch on afterwards, and than work with the university so they can use our web platform and mobile app?
Also, what is your opinion on our concept?
This article is missing something very important, the fact that coding doesn't mean you're going to trade better.
A coder doesn't know how to trade right off the bat, they'll only know how to code in a specific trading rubric (most trading algos aren't even good unless we're talking HFT) that has been told to them from someone that already knows how to trade successfully.
Anyone that's a real trader and has managed clients money will instantly be able to tell you that this is articles title is misleading.
