Collaboration is great.

Y Combinator’s Demo Day started as a chance for recent college graduates to present their work, but now looking back on the eleventh annual event it is clear they are now including entrepreneurs with experience. Growing in size and popularity every year, Demo Day has become not only a place to get word out about your business, but to also hook up with angel investors. From the large list of presenters the ones that caught my eye were the businesses with names that have brand potential, creativity, or memorability - both good and bad.

Y Combinator's annual Demo Day always features interesting new products and services. This latest Demo Day, the eleventh one, was the biggest yet and seems to have had a higher level of experienced founders presenting. I wanted to share my opinion on some of the most memorable startup brand names at the event, both good and bad.
