Rebate Bus is a web and iOS app which allows you to run a lighting audit in your business and ties in the local utility rebate program so you can take advantage of incentives to upgrade to LED.

The software also develops an energy savings proposal for you and calculates how much cash you will save if you do the upgrade.

You can sign up for a free account at www.rebatebus.com - we also have a iOS app that we are looking to test.

Still very much a work in progress but we do have 190 utility programs in the system so it is available in all major markets.

Looking for any insight you might have on the concept, the UI, the "Create a Proposal" experience and your opinions on how we should approach the sustainability angle in our marketing.

We want to really compel people to look at LED and we know the green angle is worn out.

Key users: business owners, commercial property managers, distributors, lighting salespeople, e-commerce vendors selling LED lighting

wait, do you mean 1000 lumens?

I think I know how you feel but you have to remember this one fact. Most people are living life for themselves, nobody else. So, you can't rely on someone else's support to make something happen.

It sounds like you have grinded long enough and are due for something positive to happen.

YC apps are due tomorrow. If I get selected I'll interview you for a role at our startup. We are working in the energy efficiency space. www.rebatebus.com

Just got a rejection email. Would it be too much to ask to have YC show us their internal commentary ?

So - in your experience is it like a blanket email? ie. everyone receives the same email whether it's yes or no?
