Opzi is a Q&A and networking website with private groups based on School or Company.

Think Quora + Yammer

Euwyn Poon tells about Opzi in a interview. http://www.metaezra.com/archive/2010/04/introducing_opzi_a_c...

Sounds like a really good cut on the Q&A problem. Looking forward to checking it out.

Congrats, Euwyn!

The enterprise space needs some serious disruptions. Especially in the area of knowledge dissemination, it is a huge barrier to pass knowledges around in medium/large businesses. This could be very useful in unleashing the knowledge buried in the myriads of corporate repositories (human resources, databases, etc).

Congrats!! Always great to see another Cornellian entrepreneur :)

Werd. GO BIG RED.

Tho I think Cornell Engineering is starting to get better and better. I just wish they had a CS program that was better tailored for startups instead of like quant trading and stuff.

Cornell's got a good showing in the valley. Nice! Congrats Euwyn! Now impress me with your reality distortion on the Disrupt stage.

   Q&A redefined.

his site gives some idea of what it is.

my guess is that it's something like yammer merged with quora

My money is on "Quora for enterprise." Yammer is also launching a Q&A product.

There was a question on Quora (can't find it now) about whether Quora itself was going to build an enterprise product, and they said no, there weren't any immediate plans.

Techcrunch is down at the moment. So is wordpress.com...

WordPress.com is temporarily unavailable. We’re working on the issue and things will be back up and running ASAP. Please check back in a few minutes.

So this is a single-founder YC company?

congrats euwyn! way to bring that nyc hustle to the valley!

Good work Euwyn!

Two thoughts:

- I giggled like an immature schoolboy.

- Linkbait.

This is one of the rare TC headlines that isn't linkbait.

He raised a ton of money, with basically every great angel in on the deal. Any deal of that size with both Ron Conway and Paul Buchheit involved counts as "serious angel attention."

It's 127 words saying someone, somewhere, is popular. No explanation for what Opzi does, just a plug for the TC event next week. I'm all for YC loving and Euwyn is definitely impressive but really? Let's raise the bar just a skosh.

"Tune in at TC disrupt for the exciting conclusion of.... Opzi"

I really like Euwyn and I'd give him a lot of time as an entrepreneur, but this article really does Euwyn and Opzi a disservice by being so vague.

Yeah Cornell!!
