One secret to getting through yesterday’s Y Combinator Demo Day, if you were one of the 800 people enduring three hours of presentations at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA, was to ignore the perky “We’re X for Y” shorthand summaries employed by so many startups.
“We’re Yelp for Latin America,” said one startup. ”We’re Git for documents,” said another. ”We’re eBay for capital equipment.” “We’re Stripe for shipping.” (Also: “We’re Stripe for printing.”) “We’re Uber for flowers.” (Also: “The Uber of food.”)
