http://www.hypercapital.info/ - No demo and its a long shot, but you never know.
This sounds like a really, really cool concept, but with some rather significant regulatory, legal and tax implications. Have you consulted with specialists in these areas to determine the U.S. and international legality of the concept? Are there people using it already (and in what country)?
At any rate, very cool!

I Am Near is a platform that allows any type of digital content to be associated to a particular context where context is the intersection of who, when, and where. The first URL is the landing page the other URLs are test accounts that bypass authentication. For some reason the test URLs can be a bit touchy, ripping them out tonight, if you get a blank page just refresh.
Landing Page URL. http://www.iamnear.com/
Test account URLs not authentication required. http://www.iamnear.com/?#access_token=test-john-doe http://www.iamnear.com/?#access_token=test-jane-doe http://www.iamnear.com/?#access_token=test-bobby-doe http://www.iamnear.com/?#access_token=test-sarah-doe
FYI The best way to understand I Am Near is create a post with one of the test accounts, otherwise there is nothing to view.

#44It's hard not to be excited about the potential of being apart of YC but YC is by no means a golden ticket to success. YC is potentially a catalyst depending on the stage you're at and what problem you're trying to solve but focus on building and executing instead of an individual opportunity. For us, YC is one of many opportunities to achieve our ultimate goal: product success. My day has been spent building and my co-founders have been busy on the phone all day w/ potential customers all of which are interested in our beta!
In short, focus on building and GL!

#45What an awesome day! The sun is shining. WiFi works! And our little team is brainstorming, breaking, building and dreaming.
Enjoy good ol' McFerrin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-diB65scQU and hum along with us =)

#46I know if it happens it happens and if not that's not the end of the world. But I can't help but not to think about it every couple minutes...I have to believe that all of us that chose this path have many things in common and one of those is obsessive compulsion...good luck to everyone. Everything happens for a reason.

We're working on bringing AI and automation to shift scheduling at https://www.StaffJoy.com - we are being deployed to production by a client for the first time this coming week :-)
On the back-end, it's a lot of integer programming optimization with custom heuristics that we use to keep the solve-times sane.

#48I wonder if there is any correlation between how much people care about their idea, ending up on this thread, and their likelihood of getting an interview.
There is certainly a correlation about caring about the idea and success . But ideally you should be focused on building your product, which is more important than any investor. Easier said than done, specially today (I firmly believe in that, and am here after all).
Getting feedback is always important! As is looking at what everyone else is doing, generating some ideas and figuring out places where you need to improve.

We are only available in Berkeley right now but this is what we have https://www.parachuteup.com/
Really great little site, tells me everything I wanted to know about the product! I'd suggest adding a "Subscribe for news about Parachute coming to my location" feature though, rather than a generic newsletter.

Live beta: http://voia.travel | We are live testing and making improvements every day. Can you tell what it is and how it works? Would love to have feedback.
I love the sign-up dialog you guys have, nice little details. The biggest problem I see is the color palette being too similar to that of Airbnb. Maybe it's just the designer in me recognizing it, but it could be a problem for your brand since you're in a similar space.
