Sam, how young can they apply for YC? :)

I know this isn't the place for it, but when she said that, I just had to share. Give her a chance... time is on her side.

Totally agree.. and Marc is one of the best security engineers I know. I think we are all just to embarrassed (including the President) to admit it.

Every one of our customers who has access to our API demonstrates that the Ark (YC W12) API has much more data than FullContact's API. Send me an email and I'll hook you up.

Vibe just uses FullContact (see their FAQ) who's data is pretty incomplete.

Connect6 uses LeadFerret to power their plugin, which is even worse.

Haha. Midnox brothers are my favorite of the YCW2012 class.

The issue is they specific said you can't start or use existing code before the date (still there in the rules PDF). I know that many very talented teams followed that rule even though theycould have used some of their older repos and did something even more impressive than Upshot. Then they respond to a forum question, weeks after the hackathon started, saying "yeah sure, just not a significant amount". Most programmers were heads down in their code and didn't check the forum. That's wrong and they did nothing to explain or correct this.
