You could also go to hackathons for the sheer joy of it.

Yes, thats the only thing I guess that is a true take away. But you gotta be lucky to team up with a team that suit your requirements for joy.

How does YC W12 Family Leaf feel about this?

We feel alright! There's been a number of well-funded, well-run companies entering our space recently.

Gotcha. So you're offering similar services in an accommodating market.

My personal opinion is that niche social networks are the way to go, so if you guys feel you can compete than power to you!

Good luck!

Yeah, I agree. More food and fewer nerf guns and the budget will balance again

Seriously. I'm just waiting for that day.

Is there a list like this for startup names?

Whoops--I had no idea! And I was shocked to see that it had this much traction myself.

No, it's cool that you got it up. I thought it was really neat from a visualization standpoint. You probably just submitted at a more fortunate time of day.

It's a joke, right? Please? Please let this be a joke.

It's not clear to me why you're different from any other wannabe entrepreneur trying to go to SW. You should probably describe yourselves more fully.

Good luck.

Thanks for your comment ;)

We just won two sponsored tickets from quotidianventures, so this could be considered as "special".

Also we founded CoffeeGrid (http://coffeegrid.org, http://coffeegrid.org/dev/med/) The entrepreneurship and technology community from Medellin/Colombia and our intents going to NYC are to learn and share with the local community. So you are kind of sponsoring the whole Medellin community with this ;)

In other words, you're always building a product: your startup, your personal website, maybe even yourself.

Exactly.
