YC Winter 2006 (W06) companies

Audiobeta builds web-based tools for bands to manage fan communication and tour planning. It replaces ad-hoc outreach and guesswork in routing decisions by giving artists a centralized platform to engage their audience and act on real data when booking shows.

Clustrix builds ClustrixDB, a scale-out relational database that serves as a drop-in replacement for MySQL. It targets B2B operators running high-transaction workloads, including ad tech platforms, e-commerce retailers, gaming companies, and large web and mobile businesses. It replaces the need to manually shard or re-architect MySQL as transaction volume grows.

Flagr lets people tag real-world locations from their mobile phone, attaching photos, video, and descriptions to each place. Those tagged places can be organized into custom maps and embedded on any website. The product replaces manual, desktop-bound mapping tools for anyone who wants to document and share places on the go.

Inkling builds prediction market software for corporations and government agencies, letting employees and experts submit probabilistic forecasts on sales outcomes, operational risks, and key performance metrics. It replaces traditional top-down forecasting with a continuous, crowd-sourced signal drawn from distributed knowledge inside and outside the organization.

Project Wedding builds an online wedding planning destination for engaged couples, covering vendor search, budgeting, checklists, seating charts, and editorial inspiration in one place. It replaces the fragmented process of hunting for photographers, caterers, florists, and venues across disconnected sources. The site now operates under the WeddingWire brand.

Snipshot builds a browser-based photo editor that lets users crop, resize, adjust colors, and enhance images without installing software. A one-click bookmarklet launches the editor directly from any web page, replacing the need for a desktop application like Photoshop for routine photo edits. The product targets everyday web users who want to edit and save photos back to the web in a lightweight, on-demand workflow.

Wufoo builds a browser-based form builder that lets anyone create online forms, collect responses, and manage the resulting data without writing code. It auto-generates the database, backend, and scripts behind each form, replacing work that previously required a developer. The product targets organizations of any size that need to gather structured data through registration forms, surveys, order forms, or lead-capture pages.
