YC Demo Day

Aug 16, 08 in Startups   2 Comments

Nice vid showing a few clips of presenting at Y Combinator's Demo Day in Boston. 

This came from Scott Kirsner who has a nice write up of the day via Dharmesh Shah who also has good summary of the event. I know Dharmesh via Steve Derezinski who was in charge of VentureLab before Stephen Fleming showed up on the scene. 

I suppose that makes me two or three degrees from Paul Graham depending on how you count them.  Well actually I am two because Paul Judge knows Paul Graham.  Point of ramble is we are all connected.

Lance,
Paul Graham is actually pretty accessible. I introduced him to a couple of local entrepreneurs just this past week.
If Atlanta is really interested in starting a Y-Combinator clone(or whatever you want to call it), I'd suggest finding out what has worked and what hasn't worked in Boston.

I can corroborate that. I have met him only once before at the first startup school in '05, but he replied pretty promptly, if succinctly, to an email I sent him seeking some specific advice.
