Congrats Anisa! Kids need more ways to inspire them to read, and this is a great program! I created programs for title 1 schools / kids in math and always wanted a cool way to inspire kids to be more curious and excited about reading.

We play tested this with 10 year olds at the San Francisco Public Library recently and the kids LOVED it -- keep in mind, these were not middle or upper middle class privileged kids, but lower income at risk ones. The challenge is that afte

I just emailed customer support at Enterprise Car Share and shared them your TC article. They have a lot of cars in SF and they could probably benefit from you guys--especially since their cars are sitting in lots all day. It could be a gre

Totally, I'm always stuck with the Enterprise Car Share car with less than 1/4 tank and get stuck with an extra $25 'refueling fee' when I don't take it back (I have to pay for the extra 15 min of rental time PLUS s

He never knew we raised $100k nor got into YC (until sometime in the Spring of '14). It wouldn't have mattered. If you are in, you're in. If you're out, you're out. It shouldn't be conditional.

Yeah--not very YC of them to discourage me. But then again, I didn't seem like I was YC material at the moment they talked to me. I'm glad PB and my interview team took a chance on me though, I'm still going strong!!

I swear there was a comment here earlier--did they delete it? Hey! Any comments? This was my first stab at writing a personal blog post and the most difficult for me. I hope it helps everyone keep their head up!!

We actually do the registrations, not just an affiliate thing like kayak or hipmunk....opentable for kids camps?

Hey! Actually, I just found out that there were camps in the UK. I met an ex pro-football player who used to run his own programs in the UK from 1999-2009. I'll definitely explore expansion to the UK! I love it there, and drive a Mini

@samStave--Want to come work with us? :). Secondly, the pay-wall is interesting. What would you pay for--? more comprehensive reviews, more camp offerings? I like the deposit thing. In the Fall, we'll start the 'buy credits now&#x

I'll take that as a compliment. I own a tech camp in 10 locations nationwide, and if you told an athletic kid he had to spend 8 hours/day 5 days a week in an air conditioned room staring at a screen, he'd think it's horr

Good idea--we're trying to get more people to invite their friends. Create an account, we give you $25 and when your friends create an account, you get an extra $25...that works now, but really amping that up is a good idea. The care.
