NewsBlur is a personalized news reader

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built NewsBlur to be a news reader that surfaces personalized stories and helps people talk about the news. It aggregates RSS feeds and allows users to train it to highlight what they care about and comment on stories in a shared community. It's for people tired of sprawling, noisy news and want something smarter and social.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco and the company is based here, though our work is partially remote. After YC, we plan to keep the company in San Francisco.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is the center of tech and our network; being here gives us access to resources, potential users, and collaborators. Also, both founders already live here, so it's the natural base for the company.

Questa è l'application YC reale di NewsBlur?

No. Y Combinator mantiene private le application inviate. Questa è una ricostruzione: le domande del form YC reale, a cui si è risposto usando i dati pubblici di NewsBlur (note di lancio, background dei founder, descrizione del prodotto). Mostra come un'azienda come NewsBlur si presenterebbe a YC, non il testo che hanno inviato.
