We've been running NewsCatcher [1] for over a year now.<p>Many things that we've learnt we got from YC SUS and HN. We'd love to thank this community & YC's free resources: it definitely help us get where we're today!<p>This season, we applied to YC, TinySeed, and Alchemist. Going to YC was my dream for ~2 years. However, we had to reject the YC S21 invitation this morning to join TinySeed S21.<p>Maksym and I are super happy that we got the invitation from the TinySeed team: we're two first-time bootstrapped founders, and we feel that TinySeed's 12 months program is the best fit for us at the moment.<p>Short blog post of why we think TinySeed's program is a great fit to us [2]<p>Great thx to Tracy, Rob, and Einar for giving us a chance! Let's see where we'll be in 12 months.<p>[1] <a href="https://newscatcherapi.com/" rel="nofollow">https://newscatcherapi.com/</a><p>[2] <a href="https://blog.newscatcherapi.com/we-rejected-an-invite-to-yc-to-join-tinyseed-s2021/" rel="nofollow">https://blog.newscatcherapi.com/we-rejected-an-invite-to-yc-...</a>
CloudForecast(www.cloudforecast.io) is super excited to be part of this years TinySeed batch. Couldn't have asked for a better fit in terms of mentors, program and fellow companies.<p>It's great (and funny) to see how far our journey has come since we first launched on HackerNews almost 4 years ago [1]. This "launch" was a spring board for us to who we are today.<p>[1]<a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17551796" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17551796</a>
It exciting to see those new kind of funds thrive.<p>I was really surprised by the business diversity of this batch with, amongst other:<p>- note system for researcher<p>- evidence, and lab management software for digital forensics labs<p>- CRM for senior placement<p>Disclaimer: part of TS 2020
