YEurope introduces its team, one day before their submission deadline

List is unimpressive. Where are the real entrepreneurs? All I see is a bunch of lawyers (and they make the worst entrepreneurs).

I don't want to sound negative, but first impression is pathetic. A bunch of suits with no apparent startup experience , plus a techie that gave up after trying once, blatantly parasitizing on the YCombinator brand. And what with this Stephan Zeinler's Bono picture? Screams phony.<p>Don't judge a book by its cover and all that, but still.<p>[Edit: To be fair, I hadn't read the disclaimer: "This site is inspired by, but not affiliated with YCombinator." I still think they could use some personality.]

They're really running on a tight schedule...<p>On the other hand, my understanding is that they've been hard at work since their original announcement, figuring out how their program is going to work legally and organizationally. Being willing to set themselves a tight schedule when necessary and being able to meet it might not be such a bad thing for a startup investor. :-)

Seeing as how I'm in Austria (albeit on the other side of the country), I went ahead and applied, just for the heck of it. Maybe I'll meet some interesting people even if they don't invest in me.
