Hey all!

We are an early-stage startup applying to YC for the upcoming winter batch and would be super grateful if you could provide us with some feedback for our application. Thanks a lot!

Love, researchably.com

@pitterricherd On monetization - if youre monitizing a free resource (by aggregating freely available papers) that users can find on Google, whats to stop those sources from cutting you off?

If I have to pay to download the paper, why would I also pay for you to find it? Is this a tax on an existing process or a solution?

@pitterricherd Curious, did you make it to interview and/or get in?
