> GitStart allows you to send small coding tasks (from JIRA, etc.) to its global network of developers. They charge a fee for each task — but if the developer does a good enough job that you’d like to hire them more permanently, GitStart also makes a commission. When was this company created? I thought the Git trademark policy disallows anybody new from naming things “Git”-thing.
I am currently participating in another accelerator in London called Antler; and I have been exposed to ideas from 70 entrepreneurs. We are presenting to investors this week. Also I am in YC Startup School too, which allows you to see what's coming up in the world, and that's awesome too. It's amazing to see that a significant percentage (~30%) of ideas they have come up with have been also thought of by others e.g.…

I don't think it's just the word - I think it's the combination of the word and the usage.

Is getting fuel in India really such a hassle that people are willing to pay a premium to get the fuel delivered to them? How big is this market? I live in Europe, and have never been to India, so I don't know about the situation there. But personally I can't imagine paying for a service that would maybe save me 5 minutes per week.
Though I might worry a bit about the what if someone spills petrol and drops a cigarette business. Petrol stations have underground tanks and some distance from habitation to deal with that.
