YCombinator Deadline: Today

HAHA! Nothing like some advance notice.

[Hmm...Sherna - competition deadlines. Keep that in mind.]

Back to the point: So Silicon Valley outfit, YCombinator hosts a bi-annual business plan competition. Those selected from the bunch that submit the questionnaire are invited up to the Bay area (Northern California, USA) to participate in a "PitchFest" - you sit and spill your ideas, they tell you what works and what doesn't. The winners of THAT ROUND are invited to attent what Ycombinator is calling "Start Up Bootcamp" - mostly aimed at web developers and coders who might have the coding skills but lack the pizazz to get buy in.


They also give away money $$$. At most, about $25K - enough for you not to have to worry about daily stuff like rent, food and groceriees, and cover some expenses like server space and computing power for about 6 months.

What's the point?!

Today's the deadline!!! It'll be interesting to see what comes out of this.
