Would YC even consider putting these demos up on youtube, or would that be too distracting for the participants? It would be interesting to see how rough they start out and how they progress. Perhaps even hire an in house film maker?
Even reading about these second-hand, lines like "hockey-stick growth" show the prezos were quintessentially YC.
Why?
I am curious, because I've heard that expression in many other contexts.
I've seen pg lay out a very clear way for structuring prezos, and if I remember correctly one of the rules is having a hockeystick graph without and labels and then, on the next slide, doing the reveal that it's - tada! - revenue or users or something of that nature.
The term is quickly loosing it's meaning. Obvious gaming is obvious.
