Yes I believe so, that is key.

A friend of mine who completed YC told me that there was a guy who got rejected 4 or 5 times before getting accepted. Just remember always be positive and keep working hard :)

Cheers!

Hey Hansy, the items are new or vintage items that come from their creators/brands, not necessarily donated. You could even go as far as to imagining ordering a baked pie for example that could either be delivered or shipped to you and part of the proceeds goes to a great cause. The types of items are either consumable or e-commerce goods.

Thanks Heelhook for the great feedback.

There has to be a strategy here. Either they are incredibly intelligent and not disclosing this strategy or they are banking on mass downloads to figure it out in real time?.. Either way this is going to be a great case study for business to-do's or dont's.

Guys- I think being an entrepenuer is seriously what matters. Once you make money what do you do with it? Spending it gets boring so you start a new challenge. What's important is that you stick with what your doing and be the best at it! I also think at the least applying for Y combinator is at the bare minimum an exercise that is good for understanding your product better.

No, it really doesn't. And thats not true either, ive met plenty of maried and with kids entrepreneurs that rock it! Dont hate, its totally uncool.

I usually attend its a great meetup. Although i think the bayarea is a bit boring compared to NYC..make it really boring

Age is seriously but a number. Who cares if your 18 or 52. In fact having a dynamic team with experience people and young people is great. Our company is run by a guy that is in his late 30s and the co founder is in his early 30s and I can honestly say that a young guy couldnt do half the stuff these guys can...

Sometimes age is totally a good thing :) And btw im 24 and on my second startup so I beat you 18 year old shits.

im looking for a technical co-founder,. i think i have the funding bit figured out if i found a technical co founder. at least i know a bit of people wit moola

i got rejected too :)

If someone wants to be a technical partner with me just email me digizal08@gmail.com its a e-commerce company that will make money off the bat.

Plus I at least know a few VCs if I were really serious about funding, I just need a technical co-founder which is why im guessing I got a flat out rejection.

I will have to agree with mattmaroon on this. I dont think Myspace is in for trouble, I think every social network will see a saturation point like any other company. Then it becomes pure optimization.

Build for long term growth.

LOVE THE FISHER CAR more...Way cooler

Love it or hate it, Microsoft is biting back

Thats a bit dramatic i would say...

Thats exactly what I need.

Hey Ajay,

We did meet at a HN meetup, I believe you said you were developing an iphone app last time we met.

Yeah, using a set language could be unattractive, but I am building a release product right now and its already underway. There is always room for input on what technologies we choose its just that PHP/MySQL was the most affordable and available at the time I started the project.

Hahaha, gotta love the cash4gold banner ad below the flame!

We still have the knowledge, so assuming that knowledge is utilized i guess you could answer that question by simply reverse engineering the amount of time it took to obtain the knowledge of achieving a significant process and then determine from that point how long did it take to implement the solution. Since you would be implementing the solution only you would then need to know how many key solutions are you re building and you could figure this question out quite easily.
