This one is a sleeper. Might not get as hyped as the other YC companies in its batch, but I think this could definitely be an interesting business.

Y Combinator's first all-female start-up. Lets hear a round of applause for that!

Just checked <a href="http://www.venutastic.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.venutastic.com/</a> and you guys already had it with a redirect. Strong work.

Wait, <i>that</i> Helen? So that's what you've been up to since college. Nice job. (And you too Christine.) :)<p>A lot of great features in this thing, even from day one. The right number of different ways to do things. Very strong UI work already. Still a few kinks in the flows - how do I add a venue to my Event without also contacting the venue? - but something I'd feel comfortable recommending to my mother.<p>It's also clear you guys took cues from airbnb, not letting users get too distracted by worrying about what they <i>can't</i> chose until they've already been sucked in by the sheer imagery and selection of what they <i>can</i>. Heck, I don't even live in San Francisco, and even I found myself on here way longer than expected just looking at the various venues and how it all worked. (A "corking fee"? Fascinating.)<p>I see your "for ____ people" field only fits four digits. Do you see yourselves eventually letting people search for and select even larger venues (conference centers, stadiums, what have you)? Or is that sort of business a bit too high touch? EDIT: Ah, you can still type in five digits; it's just not wide enough. Eh, my question still stands. :)

Awesome idea!<p>As unsolicited feedback, I think the UI is a bit complex on search result and booking pages. Could benefit from doing a lot less there I think. But overall it looks great.

It's like AirBnB, for venues. Neat idea! Congrats.

I like this concept. I know a few people were already looking into this ever since AirBnB came along, but this looks cool. well done.

Like this one alot. As someone who has booked venues before and had to run around searching, this would have saved me tons of time. Combine this with SpeakerGram (for booking speakers) and EventBrite for ticketing and I can plan a conference in a snap :-)

Nice pivot guys. But shame on the mentor that provided you all your features. Guess NDA's are worthless and integrity isn't coded into the tech world.

I don't know why, but the Venuetastic site has crashed my Firefox about 5 times in 10 minutes. :\

Seems like a great idea and I definitely see a need for something like this... but <i>Venuetastic</i>... really?
