The points are calculated from three inputs: character count (inverse relationship), TLD desirability (average sale price of that TLD), and domain age (how long ago the domain was first registered). Going to drop domain age though (doesn't seem like a good indicator of value) and add in an amplifier based on if you have a real English word in your domain.
Skip the overwhelming research and long distance travel to figure out where to move to. We help you find/compare the best neighborhoods/suburbs, line up moving services and manage the hundreds of todos to get settled in your new city.
We know a thing or two about building large-scale real estate experiences. Our last startup was acquired by Keller Williams where we built the new kw.com, consumer iOS/Android apps and data science team from scratch.
We’re looking for ~10 folks who are planning on relocating to a new city to test out the app/service. Please sign up and email me (jayme@newzip.com) if you're interested.

Well, they didn't have Tinder, but I'm not so sure things were as different as you may think. Here's a pretty amusing letter Franklin wrote that may provide some insight into his thinking on the topic:
I've read it, but give more thought to points 3 and 4. Obviously people were sometimes having extramarital sex, but they were not freely admitting it and it could be truly scandalous (particularly for the woman) if someone learned of it.
Hey HN, I made a simple place to discover and share how to think.
You can see “How to think like…” links for designing, engineering, inventing, generational, political and more.
I’ve been thinking about mental models and thought processes for the past few years. I want a better way to discover thought processes for doing everything. This site is the first step.
We interviewed in-person for W17 in October and got rejected because we didn't articulate a good plan for growth.
- we grew 4,000% since October
- launched huge features for both sides of our marketplace
- received acquisition interest in < 3 months of being live
- most importantly, made something that people are loving and using on a daily basis.
It's a bummer for sure but not the end of the world.
To anyone who got an interview,
Figure out your biggest weakness and a plan for how you overcome it. Your interviewers will exploit it.
Working with @jaymeh13 and interviewed with him for W17.
To those who got an interview: congratulations! Keep trying to prove yourself wrong and you'll expose any of the weaknesses that they will try to find in the interview.
To those who didn't: Congratulations anyways! The YC application process itself makes you think deeply about your business and you should keep that with you and take it as a learning experience.
Sure. We simply emailed other YC founders asking if they had advice on the interview process.
The questions are no secret. It's really only 3 questions: 1. what are you working on. 2. How do you grow. 3. How does this become a billion dollar company.
Articulating the problem, how it scales and is defensible is key.
