Having seen the demos yesterday, I can tell you that you will get "blackout" if you play.

However, I also want to note that this was the best set of presentations I've ever seen at a demo day.

Sure they use a lot of the same words and phrases, but that's because they are all trying to communicate the same thing in just 2 minutes: We're awesome and you should give us money to be more awesome.

Definitely agreed. Correlated with being the best batch yet!

> Correlated with being the best batch yet!

I very specifically didn't say that. ;)

I know you probably meant it in jest, but really each batch has some great folks in it, and no batch is really "better" than any other. I wouldn't want anyone else to get a complex, since startup founders can be a sensitive bunch. :D

level with me here -- did you and the 9GAG guys talk, I totally feel a karma conspiracy coming on

jedberg3• 14 years ago

I did in fact seek out the founder of 9Gag to talk to him. He didn't know who I was.

He's a nice guy with good intentions.

I was surprised to see no squares had any form of the word "currated" in them.

This is hilarious! I want to be able to braintrip (http://www.braintripping.com/) through YC demo day speak.

This is one of those things I wish I could watch. Any chance we can get a stream of it or something next year?

What, only one bingo card? Amateurs.

I never realized I needed a bingo card creator until now

My startup makes it easy for everyone to create bingo cards for YC demo day. The TAM is like 20; we launched less than two weeks ago and our customers love us. We're the most viral YC bingo card generator ever, so if you're passionate about bingo, come talk to us. To sum up: viral, social, big data.

This is some kind of bright shining moment for HN, but I'm not sure how to articulate which one it is. \o/

Downside of all practicing together for the past 5 days straight at YC HQ? Yup. But I love the pitches, I feel like they got so much better from rehearsal to now
