Comment on Tell HN: YC W16 rejection emails are outparent

I think it's a pretty interesting product, it also looks pretty polished, and I guess it could find some traction among large companies, government, etc. :) , I guess they're looking at it because they're the ones that need inventory and documentation the most - I work for an insurance company, and I'm going to send the link to the people that manage the datacenter - they strongly dislike anything SaaS through, they might eventually consider it as a standalone or self-hosted product, but forget about it, SaaS is a much better business model :) .

But I don't think it's what Y Combinator looks for - it's not something that will scale to Unicorn-size, it looks more like a good candidate for a bootstrapped startup.

Edit: some nitpicks, "There is no obligations!" on the pricing page doesn't sound right. I do like the "Take no hostages" pledge :) but if it looks like customers might be bigger businesses, you could re-write it to be more serious-sounding.

Edit2: from the guy that manages our datacenter: "It looks nice, we'll take a look".

Thanks! Actually we have "Takeaway" app, which is actually "SaaS in a box". We just don't want to distribute it yet, because it is much more difficult task to support shrinkwrapped software.
