How Y Combinator helped us and lead us to TechCrunch
Hi there guys,
I'm Marcin - Co-Founder and CEO of UXPin. I wanted to share our story with you. It might help you on your own start-up journey.
One year ago we've launched our notepads. Simple thing. User interface elements on post-its for quick&clean web design.
We've got extremely lucky and somebody had posted us on new.ycombinator.com. That was an extreme traffic boost and beginning for huge press coverage all over the web. Fubiz, The Next Web, hundreds of blogs, finally Wall Street Journal.
But what's more important we've got great feedback from you. It really motivated us to do more and more and more.
We've redesigned our notepads (hard cover, additional notepad for concept work, unique post-its with double strip of glue). We've made App that can recognize paper prototypes and auto-transform them into digital wireframes…
Yesterday we've been mentioned on TechCrunch. Huge thing for us as this is second mention of start-up from Poland on TC… ever.
I'm not sure if you see causes here as I do, but I think without this initial post and discussion on YCombinator UXPin could be different…
…so thank you very much!
We won't forget that. You're all doing great job.
