We did not provide a link to our demo. They didnt look at my personal site with all my info either.
Well it seems it did not play a huge role either way. In my opinion a demo or a prototype is a huge advantage in getting across an idea. At the same time we were reluctant to show ours this early in the process. Anyway goodluck to those who made it. Maybe I will see you at some of the Boston web meetups.

we didn't make it. Maybe it was because we didn't get that prototype online.
I seriously might go over to JoyEnt and kill all those lousy bastards ;-) We were promised our new server repeatedly the next day for two weeks now, believed in it and didn't just put that damn thing online on an improvised dyndns box. Big fault, I suppose... :(

#80Rejection the best motivator? or is it just me? The passion to prove yourself and your ideas is more motivating than acceptance.
Anyway we have some extra office space available to share with all you future ycombinator startups that will be locating in boston for the summer. We are located in davis square minutes from harvard sqaure in cambridge. We have been there for 4 months now and have 2-3 desks to spare. You can see pics at dreamvex.com (our soon to be designed blog).
If anyone is interested when you move to the city, you can email me at todd at dreamvex.com
goodluck to everyone who got an interview.
