Comment on Y Combinator Winter 2013 Demo Day, Batch 1: Meet Wevorce, FlightCar, Thalmic

Comments

I am of course preparing for the downvotes but the first two companies to me proffer the future of tech start ups.

Wevorce I really had to double check to be sure I was not reading an extended parody of the HN front page. Try saying "tech-powered standard for civilised divorce" without hearing Jon Stewart.

Then airware, already trying to turn UAVs into a app platform - UAVs are a big open frontier - but a hardware led one.

One company that is browser only - and is filling in the gaps left over from Web 1.0 and 2.0. And one that is driven by hardware. And while I cannot comment on the company- boy are they in a growth industry

I suppose I am saying that way back when, connecting the virtual to the physical was simple - music, text, video. We have taken the already connected and transformed it

Now we need to provide the connection to the physical as well as the application to drive the next generation - which means the next big waves need to come with dongles. Pycon beware.

What company would want to waste time and money customizing low-level UAV software?

Uav is still immature - customising implies a standard, whereas most customising of low level stuff is still "getting it working right"

Big new field very open

I would put more money on dirigibles than planes myself
