Did they change the application deadline? I could have sworn the deadline to submit the startup was end of May, now it's July 6?

Some of you who applied to other programs besides the Y probably got invites during the summer to meet up with those people and other entrepreneurs. Anyone going? If so, we should hold a mini get together or something. It'll be fun. Thr

Anyone going to the "Invite only" Y-combinator 'wannabe' programs?

I've been learning Rails and I LOVE it. I can't stop coding, it's actually kind of "sick" since I get like 4 hours of sleep. I have PG to blame because his whole advice on "learn to code" was so very true. I'm not a CS major (I did take a

I'm sorry you're having difficulty finding a co-founder. If you're a student, try the university. Y Combinator should really have a dedicated place for people to find co-founders since the 'co-founder' thread seems to be buried.

I'm helping my dad design a replacement for the Digital Signal Processor. Actually, it's already designed and it actually works through the Phase I testing. Talk about years of painfully drawing up electric engineering diagrams and deciph

I'm presenting the point that you shouldn't lump everyone into one category. If you notice the anti-MBA feeling on the forum that they are useless on a team. Well, how would hackers feel to be lumped into the category of a "beast constrain

1. Technical yes but you will need someone who can find out every single competitor out there and find a way to make your product better. 2.In addition, you need to be able to find and talk to users who are using your competitor's product

What do you have to offer to the team of hackers? Are you somewhat technical savvy? Do you know every single competitor out there and now how to make your product better to slaughter them? I've heard a lot of entrepreneurs say "I can help

What a great forum. I'm deciding b/w a Mac or a the Z. Looks like everyone really loves their MAC. My T40 is dying.

Guy Kawaski just invested in something similar to this didn't he?

I like the idea of IRC. You don't have to continuously chat there, you could just sit IDLE in there and chime in whenever. I'm a huge Gamer and because of IRC, I got to know a lot of good gamers. So lets do a Y Comb IRC. It's a good way t

This is just really all very ugly. Justin should get one of the 'business' more suave guys on his team to talk to the landlord about it and point out all the great publicity the building's getting from the Y teams...if indeed they still wa

Maybe the owners are disgruntled Y Rejects? I don't quite understand why anyone would not want "free" press. The only thing I could think of is perhaps 'doing business' from the property might break a 'zoning' law of a sort.

Launch immediately. It's your idea so you have a better understanding and the ability to innovate much faster than she ever could. Who cares if she was 'first' to do it...just make one that is better. Someone mentioned partnering up with

That's great! Well, at least for those of us on here who have a medical background.

At least you got to meet the Y team and the other cool Y applicants. Keep working on your startup and best wishes!

"MySpace by FaceBook" -- that's kind of arguable because MySpace was acquired and I really don't know who's making more money than whom. What about Digg? As for Google eating those companies you listed up..heck Google eats everyone up. Ha

You could just put up a simple forum and people can just enter their "Idea" as a topic on the forum.

Good luck to you. I'm nervous for your guys! The Y team seems to be people you can talk to, I guess that's why they're so attractive to entrepreneurs. Either way, very exciting

I've thought about this for a bit and I really don't know who needs who more so I like to think a non-hacker needs a hacker both equally. For example, if a non-hacker can't find a hacker, he'll go hire one. Hiring one might not be the bes

I think that it's great there's something like Y in Europe for startups. Anything that helps to promote entrepreneurs are great. The 'issue' here is that YEurope, the "Y" implies that you're associated with YCombinator...which is kind of

YC news is really the best thing that has happened. You know when I got rejected from Y, I was upset. But learning from the rejection, I finally found a 'hacker' to add to the team and now we're brainstorming away. So yes, the Y, its news
