is that ok to edit application now and resubmit? i'm in the list of 50's


how do you know you are in the list?


If i could come to YC or other VCs interview, i would wear a t-shirt with my startup/idea identity. Would it be silly?


Great to see some one from Russia dude! Privet! Best regards. I hope Yuri Milner presense in YC will give more chanches for russian talents to make a big jump!


Are you from Russia as well? Nice too meet you! I think that the fact that Milner is now working with YC will have a little or zero effect on Russian startup ecosystem. Money love silence. What would help Russian startup ecosystem to grow is a couple of successful rockstar startups. I was shocked when I told about Milner and YC deal to a local VC and she didn't know that. They are years behind US VCs.


Novosibirsk is city of smart people. Best regards! I'm agree about Russia ecosystem. You are right! Milner is a hero for me, really! He does business in both ends: russian and western internet.

I used to try to do some projects in russian internet. 2 years ago built http://www.moivizitki.ru (social business networking), a big Moscow based web company wanted to buy it (mostly hire us), but i decided to spend my life to build own startup (you can find job any way if needed). Built several e-com affiliate projects for english speaking world. Now my friend and i apply to YC.

I wonder if any person from post Soviet Union was excepted to YC (I don't say even a team, at list person :).


Good question i will follow it! Interesting to hear the suggestions. That looks like you are doing a daily deal thing!?


more like shop of shops, but similar


Thanks. Sorry,I don't have my personal blog at the moment.


dcancel, thanks for great post... not really optimistic, but practical and realistic thoughts.


Good luck girls! Remember you can make it, look at indinero's story...


Each time i created a new account. My user name was the name of my projects.

Here i found those accounts: ecarder bookzem


I wish you don't reach my record! Best regards


This time the application is way better! YC is improving in application big time. There are still same questions (that is great), but some hard questions are taken away. I also like the idea of video. We know Paul and Jessica and all crew in face, but now they can see us too (heh). Maybe that would be great to upload picture of funders too and stick it to application. But that is up to YC :-)
