The honor of the suckiest startup of the group, in my oh so humble opinion, goes to Drop Box. First of all, I have to say the ideas from Y Combinator’s demo days seemed more differentiated than TechStars’. I was actually excited about some of the ideas, assuming the execution lives up to the sound clip.But Drop Box is entering an important market that no one gives a crap about and no one spends money on. From MySpace onward (the online storage incarnation of the company)…there are zillions of players that all charge too much for backup. The “Time Machine”esque portions of the service seem cool enough, but I don’t think it’s going to overcome the fact that people ain’t gonna pay. So for that, they get my vote.
