Startups that demoed at Y Combinator W16 Demo Day 2

Looks like a much stronger batch to me, I take back some of what I said yesterday. I would be hard pressed to choose between some of these!<p>I love that we are seeing less fad apps and more healthcare &#x2F; farming &#x2F; energy &#x2F; third world tech. It&#x27;s encouraging.<p>Personally farming tech and third world mobile payment are areas that I&#x27;ve been thinking about reading up on for a while. Perhaps the time is now!<p>As a side note it seems like there are a lot of teams right now working on chat &#x2F; chat bots &#x2F; chat ai in a very overlapping way. It makes me wonder what the root of this bot&#x2F;ai&#x2F;virtual assistant trend is and if they would be attacking the problem the same way without slack-colored glasses.

Here is the clean list of YCW16: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;startups.watch&#x2F;yc-w16-startups&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;startups.watch&#x2F;yc-w16-startups&#x2F;</a>

Lots of biotech&#x2F;medical device companies in this class. Historically this has not been a good category to invest in (unless you like to lose money), nor one that is easy to get right. The FDA is a real pain to deal with and trying to &quot;do things that don’t scale&quot; has you end up like Theranos. I do give YC kudos for trying.

Since number 1 is a catheter, I want to repeat a long time complaint. Why can&#x27;t technology help urinals stay clean? There are puddles in literally every male bathroom. Some one please solve this.<p>Edit: At my age, the last sputters go in every which way. So missing is unavoidable and we need some kind of self cleaning floor.

A lot of these links are broken. For example, <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.getaccept.com&#x2F;%E2%80%9C" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.getaccept.com&#x2F;%E2%80%9C</a><p>Luckily, it&#x27;s easy to parse this out but it&#x27;s a bit jarring.

I can&#x27;t help but wonder how DeepGram is impacted by Google opening their speech API.

NSFW warning.. there&#x27;s a catheter&#x2F;penis combo.

PaveIQ looks pretty interesting. There has to be a big market of customers willing to hand over money to learn how their website is performing but aren&#x27;t currently investing the time to learn GA&#x27;s more advanced features or to learn how to mine insights from all that clickstream data.

So what is up with all the Chatbots? Between the two days there was at least three companies that seemed to be pushing some sort of generic chatbot. Is this really lucrative? I guess it could replace call centers with online automated help.

I&#x27;m amazed at how big the batch is. It seems like there are some clear front-runners, but the batch itself seems quite deep.<p>Disclaimer: Haven&#x27;t payed a lot of attention to YC batches since &#x27;13.

Boom wants to build the next Concorde—how can YC help?
