Valleyball

From the sample leaderboard, this seems more like "which startup has the most employees voting for it?" (case in point, dmor: http://valleyball.co/company/mattermark?cheat=1) instead of "which startup is most likely to succeed?"

The problem with a fantasy startup league is the time horizon. No user is going to pay attention for years for an event to occur, whereas in fantasy sports there's an event every day/week.

Relatedly, there's no good explicit definition for when a startup fails. (case in point, Yo has been dead for a month but this webpage pretends it isn't)

Hear hear, Buster is awesome!

Also wanted to point to a similar project we're building called Sand Hill Exchange (http://sandhill.exchange/ ). By offering a fluid marketplace with real-time changes in price, we provide the daily feedback startup junkies crave.

Would be great if you could remove your guess, as I did not know it would publicly add my twitter handle.

FYI - the three links at the bottom (Product Hunt, Yo, and Uber) just link to the home page, rather than the companies' pages.

Once in a while I think "hey, wouldn't it be great if people in the bay area loved building great products more than they love raising money and selling companies?"

It's obviously a total pipe dream, but wow, maybe we could actually make the world a better place.
