I was going to apply to launch but I will not be ready. I am a single founder that created dietmanager.org ( originally named digest.io ) to help me manage my diet. Since then I have pivoted to support 455 different diets and not just the one i use which is the Macrobiotic diet. I am not the kind of founder that will ever get into Y-Combinator but I have a track record of making cool and profitable products. I am cur…
Twimbow.com ( http://twimbow.com)--> ; we would love to join. We are spending two weeks in San Francisco in that period for our Silicon Valley tour and would be glad to join the show. More details about our visit here: http://t.co/eiRVGrb Thanks :-)

I think a lot of us may have that "problem" as one of the requirements to submit to LAUNCH was to ensure that you did not have a web presence or public launch/description out there. Not sure if that is the same for the tables, but I think a number of us are playing it safe, just in case same rules apply. But your point is totally fair, in some cases (including mine) it's hard to know what is what.
Yeah, to get on the main stage you need to LAUNCH for the first time on the main stage. That's the 1.0 competition. For 2.0, you have to LAUNCH something new (i.e. a pivot, version 2.0 of your software) on the main stage for the first time. The reason for this is that if you launch on the web the no one will come to the event. As a group the startups agree only to have landing pages and to do very private betas---and…
Hey guys, Waiting on hold sucks. You call, navigate the prompts to the right department and then wait on hold, listening to terrible music and reminders of your importance. We want to spin that around. Instead, you tell us who you want to talk to at Verizon (eg someone in the billing dept) and we'll have them call you . http://www.fastcustomer.com In making it, we've tried to be guided by YC's "make something useful"…
Zazu's ( http://getzazu.com ) heading over to the Bay Area from Boston right around then to meet people. We'd love to be there, it'd be an absolutely spectacular way to meet people! Oh right, should probably tell y'all what we do: We're building Jarvis from Iron Man -- though we're starting a little less grandiose and building the world's most kickass alarm clock.
That's awesome! I've been daydreaming about building something like this for a while now :). Is it free? Is there a paid version where a real live person reads my message to me? In fact, now I think I might hack this up to run as an timer on my laptop. Where can I buy zazu?
GuideMe ( http://guideme.com/ ) would love to help people ask for, share, and organize great personal dining recommendations while at the Launch conference. GuideMe users create a structured question for their specific dining situation and ask their social networks as well as the GuideMe community who then all give suggestions back on GuideMe making it easy to aggregate, organize and see information about the places…

But that's just a landing page, not a product. We(at least, I) don't even have an idea what it is

just thought i'd give 10 away here to help fellow startups out.
the conference should break even and I won't lose more than $100,000 putting it on. heck, it probably will break even if things keep growing like they have!
if it does make a profit i'm going to put that toward angel investing at companies from the event. :-)

We're incorporating state standards and goals and reducing the work necessary for teachers to track achievement for their students - giving them more valuable instruction time.
LAUNCH is perfect timing for us - we're getting ready to release the full goal tracking suite for teachers and schools, as well as some non-traditional ways for kids to connect.
We are a group of 4 guys, trying to make something cool. Vidtonic's Homebrew DIY Android TV kit ( http://www.vidtonic.com ). The idea being if you can build your PC, you can build your own TV. The kit has everything you need to build your own Android TV (panels, main board, cool enclosure, etc..). The TV kit is a 1080p HDTV, in sizes from 22" up to 42". We are expecting to start shipping kits this summer... we also w…
