Y Combinator Winter 2013 Demo Day, Batch 1: Meet Wevorce, FlightCar, Thalmic, And More
Summary
Kicking off the event with onstage remarks, Y Combinator founder Paul Graham said that he feels like the contracted size of this class means that there are essentially no weak startups in the bunch — which will make it more competitive for the investors on hand. Here are the 16 companies that presented in the first on-the-record batch from YC Winter 2013 Demo Day: Wevorce offers a system for handling divorces that attempts to avoid the pain and cost of going to court. While drones have historically been expensive and predominantly for military use, they’re getting cheaper, smaller, and used for commerical purposes like search and rescue, infrastructure inspections, open air mining operations, and much more. The startup has also already seen some notoriety, having been one of the top stories on Reddit and even garnering a quote from Bill Gates: “This solution helps close the gap for potentially promising but unfunded projects.” With Microryza, research is no longer limited to universities. The founders call the response aggregation tool a “real time pulse on location” and hope to pick up some of the millions that chains like Sears spend on broken feedback systems.
