It's that time again! With Dave Mcclure 500 startups now 175 startups sometimes hanging at its headquarters in mountain view, leaves one a bit overwhelmed with promising startups. Moreover, motherhen Mcclure insists that he loves all his little monsters, the same thing.

While each of the 30 startups that presented yesterday at demo day is clearly unique little snowflake, I took the seven most interesting (read, this does not mean "actually be successful") and the respondents as last time.

Key points: Learn how Storytree dudes convinced retired to their luckom demo video, watch heated brogramming against proglamming debate between gender startups manpacks and Snapette and listen to the Gospel of Jesus ' "Jameson" Detweiler Run at scale.

The company, which I am still interested in despite the interview here: TinFoil (which does not need a service that highlights where your company is vulnerable to hacks?) Kibin (what Blogger does not require free and fast online editing?) and trades coffee (for example, Birchbox for coffee).

Here they are in no particular order. And you can watch the demo video here.

Cuisine culture

Most "real life" before the launch of the cohort, kitchen culture tries to mount the ethnic chefs from people who want to learn to ethnic cooking in their homes. Co-founder of the Stanford d. school students Abby Sturges and Jennifer Lopez, launch already has partnered with whole foods, and seven traditional cuisine.

WillCall

Today the hotel for the event tickets, WillCall allows people to pick up same day tickets for around 50% (Hotel night CEO Sam shank is the investor). Bro founder Donnie Dinch very particular used Billy Elliot as an example, he wanted to go to during his demo, and I will never forget this slide with the text "Billy Elliot, bitches." # Googlebait

Knapsack & Snapette

Snapette and manpacks double interview here because their products are so complementary. Backpack is designed to simplify the shopping experience for guys to buy purchase automation for Staples like underwear, socks and condoms. Snapette, Foodspotting for fashion "makes exactly the opposite, providing women with even more choices, enabling them to check on the shoes, high-end goods around them. I personally think the two should be merged, or at least offer discounts for couples.

Singboard

Founder Ray Chan touted as "YouTube meets karaoke" Singboard interesting not so much on the level of the product as for the fact that the team is also incredibly successful image Forum 9Gag and start the quote. From Hong Kong team received an introduction to 500 startups "by quoting one of 500 coaches startups.

Storytree

Storytree this online memoirs for families (and groups) with nearly the most heart wrenching demo video ever. And as it turns out that the entire "guy dies at the end of" part is fake! Co-founders Matt Sullivan and Zach Weiner persuaded a local orphanage to participate in the video, as part of a class of improvisation, which includes Storytree.

FM Console.

Console.write FM no fuss Web application that streams of electronic music. Imposed on the crazy buzz and some loyal fans (as three people sent it to me to demo Fei), the application captures image data for songs via the Internet, and determines what songs should be included for each genre. The trio is working on a developer tool called Hello World to this rotated to Console. fm because they found other music discovery services as Turntable. fm too distracting.

LaunchRock

LaunchRock is a startup that helps other startups um, run. Just signed up a million people to its network of startups, one is not quite sure if it is a sign of a bubble or a stroke of genius. In any case, the founder of Jesus "Detweiler" interesting Startup Jameson. Also: no wonder from La.
