You have a good site, and it looks like a good product from first impression, however, the demo was a bit confusing to me. The easy to use UI, looked complicated with all the colors, and charts, and sections. I assume this is something that could be fixed with additional time. Just wanted to share feedback. Thanks for sharing! It looks like a product you can make money selling.
I liked your site, but I wasn't certain what you offer that other money sites don't. I'm sure you have some market changing technology, but I didn't know what it was. Can you clarify?
Awesome platform! I'm impressed:) I didn't see how you get sensor information from phones. I worked on a messaging system for an aviation weather observation system for a North American government agency that was written in Java, and the sensors we used were not the kind you find in phones.
Your rejections are proof positive to me that Y!Combinator has to many good startups applying for their program.
Cheer up, and celebrate your hard work. God has a special plan for you. In the morning its back to work:)
You may not be partnering with Y!Combinator, but you are walking away with a 7% stake in your company that gives you 100% control over your own destiny, and potentially millions, or even billions of dollars in wealth you would of given away had you been selected. Who am I kidding, we all wanted the support of Y!Combinator.
The good people of Y!Combinator are some of the of the best in Silicon Valley. I personally would love to have a board that could show my team the ropes. Lets face it. Hackers are pros at learning the ropes through trial and error. Persistence will get us through.
I fantasized about a little more rest than my current environment of working a full time job that pays the bills, and another full time job developing new technology that doesn't yet pay any bills. Having to focus on multiple things at once, instead of focusing on one with pinpoint accuracy is painful. You do what you gotta do, and you will get there.
Our company has built a foundation for Strong AI, and an autonomous robotic framework that connects Robotics to third party AI. Google has spent over a billion dollars the last couple years buying companies in these two areas, and we are going to beat them connecting AI to Robotics by months, and we have been developing our technology for 3 years. AI, and Robotics were Y!Combinator's top 2 desired business categories, and we didn't even get an interview.
In summary don't stop, but do look for alternative options to getting to your next milestone in regards to funding. Most of the sites I've looked at in rejected Y!Combinator posts, I would of been interested in if I were an investor. I think each of you is onto something (Except the dude who submitted a swinger ad. He did get a good chuckle out of me though:).
