It's been a blast working with startups and existing brands creating new products, marketing them, and generally creating success through precise user experience.
Very profitable already and showing impressive growth.
Not a "web app" or socially networked, real time diet planner but we're a business and we're profitable!
1. I do some front end development but mostly consult and project manage on large, well funded projects. This includes some of my own projects.
2. $175,000+/-.
3. Dishwasher.
4. 14 in web technologies.
5. Knowing the ins and outs of web products and how to make them and how to make businesses around them. Knowing your own value and not settling for anything less. Determination and confidence.
How can you predict there will be lots of wasted money? Blindly investing in a group of startups because of a high profile incubator they're participating in is a practice in publicity and, as an investment, a bet against numbers at worse.
I'm gambling that YC and Yuri are pretty smart about what they're doing. It's a branding/publicity exercise that will probably return just a few (not important) numbers for Yuri that uses these YC kids as a vehicle.
