Wow, this definitely is the strongest looking batch in recent memory. Interesting to see a few companies in the group that are or will be competing head-on with previous YC alums. Airware is particularly exciting. There are a lot of parallels between today's hobby UAV market and the hobby PC market of decades past. I love Circuitlab, but "the founders estimate their market to be $500 million, because of CircuitLabs’…

Now that's more like it!
Getting lots of Apache errors in the listings on Zaranga - http://www.zaranga.com/

So, congratulations to everyone involved and hopefully in a few years we'll be going "oh yeah, it was back in 2013 I first heard about..."
I am of course preparing for the downvotes but the first two companies to me proffer the future of tech start ups. Wevorce I really had to double check to be sure I was not reading an extended parody of the HN front page. Try saying "tech-powered standard for civilised divorce" without hearing Jon Stewart. Then airware, already trying to turn UAVs into a app platform - UAVs are a big open frontier - but a hardware le…
What company would want to waste time and money customizing low-level UAV software?
Big new field very open
I would put more money on dirigibles than planes myself
I think buildzoom is going to be big. I'm remodeling a condo in Florida, and it has been a nightmare to find contractors. In fact on the flight on the way home I penciled out some ideas to improve this that aren't too different from what buildzoom is offering. Edit: After reviewing my notes, one thing I considered was that for better or worse, a lot of the industry is under the table and transient. Maybe buildzoom wi…
