Congrats to those who got invites.

Re:Why Gamification Can’t Be Stopped on Saturday April 07, 2012 @09:35PM (#3812718)
Every new website/application these days needs some level of gamification to attract and retain users and grow fast. Best if it is inherently built into the actual product. Anybody disagree?

Re:Dear Y Combinator, we bet you we can solve a problem of yours in 72... on Wednesday April 04, 2012 @07:04PM (#3800354)
Finding good solution to a given problem is what most of the engineers do day-to-day at work.

Real entrepreneurs identify opportunities (problems) and provide solution. Remember, a problem well stated is a problem half solved.

Re:Skilled Workers May See Green-Card Surge on Friday July 20, 2007 @11:51AM (#35641)
Don't think so. YC model is biased towards college students or recent grads. Most of these folks we are talking are already working. They end up moonlighting than going for YC.
Re:Need UI developer for creating next amazing thing based on Web 2.0 on Thursday June 28, 2007 @11:39AM (#31389)
It is not that some one will start working on it without knowing what we are doing. We want to hear from hackers who are interested so that we can further discuss it.

I love YC, been to last Startup School, But hate to discuss our secrets openly here.

Yes, we are counting on first mover advantage. We would like to have few more months ahead of our imitators when we announce it :)

Nope. Just named it very vague. We first met in Starbucks before started working together.

Its just a code name.

Re:eBay thinks outside with eBox on Wednesday June 13, 2007 @01:16PM (#27830)
How does this application reduce their HW & other costs anyway? Seems like they are trying to be like 'me too' with this application... unless I am missing something here.
