YC W13 Applicants

I saw one that said "A hyperlocal social photo bookmarking site for mobile" and immediately thought of <a href="http://www.collegehumor.com/video/6507690/hardly-working-start-up-guys" rel="nofollow">http://www.collegehumor.com/video/6507690/hardly-working-sta...</a> .<p>Definitely use a less douchey description in your actual YC app. Or at least name your company Devil's Deuce Interactive.

It's cool to see the traffic on this bit.ly url.<p>Protip, add a + to any bit.ly url to see stats:<p><a href="https://bitly.com/Sua5z2+" rel="nofollow">https://bitly.com/Sua5z2+</a>

x-post from the other thread - relevant if you got a rejection email tonight.<p>Hi everyone -<p>Startups are hard. I hope you'll keep going in the face of adversity.<p>If so, Mixpanel is here to help. Forward a copy of your YC rejection email to free@mixpanel.com and we'll hook you up with our $150/month Startup plan, free forever.

I hope this, or something like it, takes off: <a href="http://www.hostmygig.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.hostmygig.com</a>. It's a sad thing to see great unknown bands not be able to fill a tour or find the right venues. Look forward to seeing how they get the word out.<p>Oh and a request? I sign up for the betas of a lot of these out of interest, to see if anything looks like it will take off. I am constantly getting notifications and updates, which is fine, but without mentioning what your service is - don't make me go to your website to remind myself what you do and find out if I want to stay subscribed: please just put a quick paragraph in your email footer.

For companies which got an interview, I'd strongly recommend not listing yourself on this list.<p>Do you really want TechCrunch/etc looking through this list and writing your fundraising articles without your involvement?

mobius.io here, we make hardware and were pretty excited when we read <a href="http://www.paulgraham.com/hw.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.paulgraham.com/hw.html</a>. Got rejected today and checked the server logs, saw nobody ever logged into our demo site. Is this typical or just means that our application was really, really bad?

The document is no longer public (about 10% of the companies emailed me asking me to remove them from the list.

Eh. Didn't get an interview.<p>Whatever. I'll apply for the next cycle.

What inference can one make from a reject?<p>(A) Got 4/5 video views from YC/partners and even as late as November 11th.<p>(B) If there were no video hits at all.<p>Looking for some postmortem but shouldn't stop me from continuing my work.<p>It will help us know which axes to improve up on for the next time.<p>So for example, if we have had video hits and got rejected, does it mean the idea sounded good but they were not convinced with the team? Helps one learn...

<i>We're trying to get better at this...</i><p>Such clinical sincerity. I would have preferred a simple no, than something so transparently calculated.

No matter what the message will be I am already working on the project to finish the prototype till the end of the month.<p>I believe YC is an awesome opportunity and even I we'll be rejected the project will be launched.<p>Good luck everyone to get to the ready prototype and go on to the big things from it ;)

Today is a perfect day for spam marketers to reach us.<p>I have read every single email very carefully today.

Why did this get tweeted as "List of YC W13 companies"? You made me jump out of my chair for a bit :(

What is the point of this and who's behind it? (serious question)

Has anyone received information on their applications yet?

YC W13: "The X for Y class"

Has any other applicant class done this??? Don't get me wrong but if it wasn't done before I dont know if we should do it now...

Nice to see tent in there.

Now who wants to start a fantasy YC W13 pool?

We didn't get in either this time. But it's always nice having the opportunity to apply to these things.<p>Would love to see more of the application videos (it might be embarrassing to put yourself out there, but I'm sure everyone here's a supportive bunch and just wants to learn).<p>Hang in there.

Rejections are starting to go out....

Now I'm curious. What is Cluckbutton?

If your company description is, "we're the (insert startup name one) for (insert startup name two)", please please reconsider. There are sooo many cool business ideas that don't involve Facebook, twitter, or (inset startup name three's idea here) ideas.

I applied:<p>Mobile based hacker-to-hacker platform used to infiltrate CIA database with content gathering and storing- market potential: Iran, N. Korea, China, Cuba, Russia...this will redefine the black market. All i need is a little startup cash

<a href="http://fitsby.com/" rel="nofollow">http://fitsby.com/</a>, awesome!

Guideacity hasn't been selected, but we are keeping our work going and see how far we can get. Also if there is someone in New York who can create a website like Airbnb please let me know!

Well, added Splash to the list. It was funny to see at least one other company very similar, and that is launched! At least we know we are headed in a good direction. :)

Should I be concerned that the person behind the "wingman app" is looking for a co-founder? I don't know whether that's a positive or a negative...

Seriously, before asking for people's personal info can you give us at least a sentence or two about why you want it?

What's this for?

Infikno looks sweet. I'd totally use that.

Misfit Labs is on the list too!<p>They just launched a successful campaign on Indiegogo and were on TC yesterday.

Ok we are in, let's see if we can get something out of this all together!

Daniel, can you remove my entry from the list? It is #73 (educat.me )

what % of interviewed Cos are accepted?

do the form's authors want to add a field for 'Accepted?'<p>luck everyone!

Ooops hard luck for us!!
