I was going to apply and found out that a YC W'11 startup was working on something extremely similar.
Do you consider applications on products that are similar to those of another YC company ? If yes, is there any history of YC doing this ?
We just applied this morning, hopefully its around March 1st or so. If people get accepted they need a bit of time to get stuff in order to head out there.
Thanks for all those advices.
So bootstrapping a company to sell stuff to big companies seems pretty hard ( being backed by investors would relieve big companies I presume ).
Great work ! Do you plan to expand it to a full MMORPG ?
There are some great opportunities in HTML5 browser-based games, considering the ease to port to mobile devices.
Is Chartbeat the only real time analytics engine on the market ? ( I'm asking this because I assume you invested more than me, and I'm interested in knowing the current state of this market )
