Hey there!<p>My co-founders and I are flying up from Melbourne, Australia to SF for a couple of weeks during the YC interview period.<p>We're diving head first into our own startup (http://astute.io) and would love some suggestions on who we should meet with and where we should visit.<p>Ping me at hi@ben.gy if you prefer to do comms via email.<p>Thanks in advance :)
Natural language and business analytics? Ooh that sounds fun.<p>By happenstance I'm also going to be in the area right around when you are. If you're in San Francisco over Easter weekend (April 19th and 20th) I'd be happy to grab a meal with you and talk analytics, and perhaps recommend some people with mutually relevant interests.<p>I happen to know a few things about a few things with regards to business metrics of interest to startups, and also about the challenges with implementing and selling metrics systems.<p>My email is patrick@ any domain I own.
I'd shoot Sam or Paul or someone at YC an email explaining that you had to buy your ticket to the Bay in advance, so you're coming whether or not you get into YC, and ask if they can put you in touch with some other 'good to know' people in the bay while your here. I'm sure they'd be happy to help.
