This link is actually part of my ycombinator application idea. It has some "stealth" features that I haven't yet implemented. I also applied last funding session and have continued to work on this. Anybody got any feedback?

Why doesn't the site say what startup corresponds to each link?

citizenkeys3• 15 years ago

Because the videos generally don't have that information.

you should prune the 404's.

thanks for posting this, though. some of these are hilarious and great examples of what not to do!

Would the YC team mind sharing which of the "accepted" W11 bunch submitted a video in lieu of / in addition to their applications?

I was a YC applicant once - 2007 as a single-person founder. Although I personally would never do a video, it is an interesting idea.

I did this same page last funding session and submitted it to Hacker News: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1862327

Most of the applicants submitting video will gladly tell you which video is their and discuss it, which is one of the fundamental ideas of the site. I'm applying with AV Squid again this funding session.

It is inspiring to see a lot of young and super excited people super passionate about providing a social twist to the world.

Wow, I really see what PG meant about scripted videos now. After a few takes I unintentionally created a script in my head. I had to walk away from it for a couple days and ended up doing my video on my next take.

Finally, it sounded like me instead of a robot.

Hey you found our video! We're the fourth one (Moral Fibers).

Love the passion, but you might want to rerecord it. The high pitch squeal is unbearable.

mbrightman2• 15 years ago

Thanks! And sorry for the high pitch squeal, our web dev/hacker extraordinaire is working on it as we speak.

Hey you found our video too! (We're the SpotHero one)
