Very cool! How is the zephie score generated?

Hi HN,

NewZip is a new relocation app for consumers.

Skip the overwhelming research and long distance travel to figure out where to move to. We help you find/compare the best neighborhoods/suburbs, line up moving services and manage the hundreds of todos to get settled in your new city.

We know a thing or two about building large-scale real estate experiences. Our last startup was acquired by Keller Williams where we built the new kw.com, consumer iOS/Android apps and data science team from scratch.

We’re looking for ~10 folks who are planning on relocating to a new city to test out the app/service. Please sign up and email me (jayme@newzip.com) if you're interested.

Building on-boarding for every app is a huge pain. I wish I discovered this ~3 months ago.

Glad you like it!

I'll keep at it. Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks. It's just a proof of concept at this point.

What do you think a good summary consists of?

I never practiced this because I didn't feel it very helpful. I wish I had more insight into why Ben Franklin thought this was important.

OP here.

This system is helpful but imperfect. I welcome any suggestions on virtues or practicing them.

Hey HN, I made a simple place to discover and share how to think.

You can see “How to think like…” links for designing, engineering, inventing, generational, political and more.

I’ve been thinking about mental models and thought processes for the past few years. I want a better way to discover thought processes for doing everything. This site is the first step.

Please let me know what you think.

of course! Feel free to reach out if you need any help with prep - jaymeh13(AT)gmail

Sure. We simply emailed other YC founders asking if they had advice on the interview process.

The questions are no secret. It's really only 3 questions: 1. what are you working on. 2. How do you grow. 3. How does this become a billion dollar company.

Articulating the problem, how it scales and is defensible is key.

Here are a few links we used

Just got the glorious rejection email :) https://mail.mixmax.com/m/kWxSBXQlxWO9sN6AC

We interviewed in-person for W17 in October and got rejected because we didn't articulate a good plan for growth. - we grew 4,000% since October - launched huge features for both sides of our marketplace - received acquisition interest in < 3 months of being live - most importantly, made something that people are loving and using on a daily basis.

It's a bummer for sure but not the end of the world.

To anyone who got an interview, Figure out your biggest weakness and a plan for how you overcome it. Your interviewers will exploit it.

Here's some notes on our experience going through the interview https://paper.dropbox.com/doc/YC-Interview-Experience-L45KzT...

Good luck all

Congrats NI!

How did you come across this problem/solution?

Kevinj90825 and I are excited to share Ravel: a simple multi-carrier freight management system for small CPG businesses.

We’re trying to make Oracle / SAP level logistics management software more accessible ( intuitive with Jony Ive accent ) for small businesses.

Transporting product to retailers is one of the biggest concerns and costs for CPG’s. We hope to make life a little easier for these folks :)
