Will there be a recording made of the session? Hope so.

I'm a somewhat technical founder currently bootstrapping an elearning startup - Tapfun. Although I have a biz dev / marketing background, I wanted to be able to contribute on the product so I rolled up my sleeves and built all of our iOS apps to date. I grew up with computers but was never deeply technical (just building websites for extra income).

We have over 1M downloads on iPad and everyday tens of thousands of young students use our apps. Recently I hired some contractors to help build the next gen of our products with a proper backend. We have our first school client for the platform and they are rolling out an app for all of their grade 1 students using this technology (in place: contract iOS dev, backend, front end).

I've realized that I really need a technical partner so that I can trust someone to really own the technical side of the business and I will focus on raising a seed round and growing the customer base. I'm planning to move from Toronto to the US in the fall (either NYC or San Fran) depending on how my accelerator applications go.

Even though i've been at this for 3+ years i'm open to bringing in a cofounder. Seeking full stack expertise (bonus points for ML experience) with a desire to make a huge impact in the learning space. Drop me a line (email in profile) to chat about how education will change in the future.

You should add it to all countries. English speakers will see that it is in English. You can localize later.

What are the hardest lessons for founders to learn during YC?

I notice that the pricing plans don't reward the middle tier as compared to the first tier.....would have expected that middle one to offer savings per SMS sent versus the first tier. My 2 cents feedback. Service looks very useful, congrats!

Alarm clock that gives you a standing ovation (and cheers) when you stand up.

By this logic app developers shouldn't publish books because some turn out bad. I think 37signals might take issue with that, rework or not.

Thanks Nathan, can you point us to a few of the apps you've worked on as a starting point. Thanks

labvine (don't love it but but workable)

I've made an inquiry about a much better one that you may be able to buy....sitting dormant. That's what i'd look for, really solid names that you can buy for not too much....worth it.
