This TechCrunch article was written by the founder of LaunchBox, making it essentially a press release. When TechCrunch covers YCombinator demo day, they send a reporter rather than asking PG to do a writeup.


I would actually enjoy reading a PG-written 1-2 sentence summary of every YC startup on demo day.


"Reporter". Good one.


Didn't JamLegend come out of LaunchBox? Edit: yes they did. So they have at least one monster hit.


Please define "monster hit"


Ok, enough-of-a-hit-to-make-every-founder-millionaires.


most of the company descriptions just sounded boring. I skimmed through most of it and nothing popped out as "oh thats interesting, let me read more about this startup" except for the one about self guided tours. I though that was pretty cool. When I go to Europe I would love to have a self guided tour of London or something. That would be great.

maybe they were just poor descriptions in general.....
