  The batch looks like it's full of established companies with polished products and big clients.

  Wasn't YC about funding people before they even have a product?

  How is this different from AirTable or any other of the dozen of online spreadsheet tools? Just looks like an auto-aggregated table.

  Serious question: Where's the "research" here? Sorry, not trying to be antagonistic, just not seeing what's new here.

  Thanks, Jude! From a quick scan, it seems there are quite a few companies in direct competition--particularly in: 1) incoming sharing education, 2) bespoke computer processors, 3) medical billing, and 4) recruiting software.
