Watch out for gazeons. They are particles produced by gazing on-lookers -- especially by important people. Most demos are tested with only a few participants, limiting the ambient gazeon level.

Without proper gazeon shielding, the demos might be friend by the number of potential investors in the room.

I learned all this from Hod Lipson, a really smart guy http://www.mae.cornell.edu/lipson/

friend = fried

the demos would be _fried_ by gazeons. Sigh

If I was demo-ing, I'd hire girls to ask cute questions and clap whenever something went right.

Speaking of which, is loopt so far the only YC-funded startup with a female on the crew?

nope, Heysan has Marie

and songkick has michelle

Wow, "dropbox" takes on a whole new meaning when you refer to them as "dropboxers"...

Not for the rest of us... :)

can't wait to hear how thing go guys! I didn't get to meet all of you, but I think this is easily the most impressive group so far. blow them away.

I second this motion -- there seem to be some fascinating ideas this session (not to mention some slick design!)... Good luck!

not really seen anyone properly blogging stuff this round like Boso crew did last time, apart from a few posts from Remember Me

Good luck on demo day, guys!
