YC Summer 2007 (S07) companies

Anywhere.FM lets music listeners upload their personal music collections to the web and stream them from any browser, replacing the need to carry local files or a dedicated device. The platform provides a web-based player modeled after iTunes and adds social features, including personal profiles and a Friend Radio mode that surfaces new music through a listener's social graph.

Appjet builds a browser-based platform for writing and hosting simple web applications, targeting developers who want to skip local setup and server configuration. Users write JavaScript in a web-based editor, and Appjet runs the code on both the server and client side through its own application virtualization layer, which allocates processor time and throttles overuse. The platform includes pre-built libraries for databases and the Facebook API, replacing the need to wire up that infrastructure manually.

Biographicon builds a biographical reference platform where anyone can create and maintain a structured life profile for any person, living or historical. It targets general consumers who want to document, discover, or research personal histories, replacing ad-hoc searches across scattered web sources with a single organized record.

Blue Frog Gaming develops SFC2: Starfleet Commander Reborn, a free-to-play, persistent browser-based space strategy MMO. Players colonize planets, build economies, research technology, and command real-time fleet warfare against other players, with no download required. The game revives the original Starfleet Commander from the 2000s, rebuilt by its original developer on a modern engine with full mobile support.

Bountii builds a price search engine that finds lower and more accurate product prices than existing comparison tools. It targets online shoppers buying electronics and appliances, replacing the manual work of checking multiple retailer and comparison sites. The company plans to extend coverage across all product categories.

ContestMachine built a web-based tool that let website and blog owners run contests and giveaways without custom development. Clients configured entry requirements, prize details, and start and end dates, while ContestMachine handled submission collection and winner notification. The product replaced ad-hoc manual processes for managing promotional campaigns online.

It replaces custom-built or nonexistent comment systems with a network that spans millions of sites across virtually every topic. Publishers also get access to an advertising network layered on top of that engaged audience.

Dropbox builds a cloud-based workspace that lets individuals and teams store, share, and collaborate on files across devices. It has expanded beyond file sync into a suite of tools covering document signing, video review, secure document sending, AI-assisted scheduling, and content search, replacing the patchwork of separate apps that teams otherwise juggle. The target customer is anyone from solo professionals to large enterprise teams who need their files and feedback workflows in one place.

The work it replaces is manual or rudimentary matching, substituting machine-learning-driven personalization across search, advertising, and content surfaces.

iJigg/Top440 built a community-driven music discovery platform where users submitted and voted on singles using an upvote mechanic borrowed from social news sites. Music fans could rate tracks, surface what the community was listening to, and embed songs directly on their MySpace profiles.

Meetyu builds a consumer platform for meeting and connecting people. No program description or website content is available to specify the customer, the job, or the work the product replaces.

It replaces the isolation of solo stock research with a social layer where members can observe experienced investors, follow trending picks, and contribute their own analysis to a public community.

Songkick builds a concert discovery platform for music fans, letting them track favorite artists, browse tour dates, and buy tickets. It replaces the scattered work of monitoring artist websites, venue calendars, and third-party ticketing services. Artists also use Songkick directly to publish tour dates and reach a global audience of fans.

Splashup builds a browser-based image editor for consumer users, offering advanced editing tools including layer effects. It replaces desktop image editing software by letting users edit photos directly in the browser without a local install.
