Software generalist to join us in Austin at top accelerator. Help us finish building in 3 months and launch product at sxsw, then consider staying with us afterwards. Here's stack: http://doccaster.blogspot.com/2012/11/no-turkeys-allowed.htm...


I'm in different because it's "reality" Television; with "television" being the operative word. We can talk about how it misrepresents the real Silicon Valley (Note: Which I know nothing about) but let's not forget, that it's a business and not a non profit. So the objective of the creators has been achieved: 1)Tell an entertaining story, 2)Get people to promote it by talking/blog about it about because they love or hate it, and 3) know that the promotion will bring eyeballs/ratings which leads to underpants and profits! At least for one season, it's mission accomplished for Randi.


Your statement that "H1B/L1B can not start a side business" is factually incorrect. Any legal non immigrant can start a business, who he/she cannot work for it. That's the problem.


Well I know about that.You can open a company but can not work for it.What is the use?


I understand. Not a everyday tool at all. Only good for events, conventions and meetings.


What you are saying makes total sense. Unless you were presenting or a vendor at a conference, there would not be a need for you to use it. The only time I wish I had doccaster was when I went to CES. All the paper, brochures and people made me feel overloaded. That's when a product like this becomes handy because it allows you to view the location, see the vendors, grab their documents and have a conversation if needed from the lobby of the convention floor.


Cool and thank you very much! Our vertical is the convention/ conference space. We live in Orlando which is a large convention market and have been tide to the space for a while which is the reason why the product was developed.


Thank Larrys for the feedback. The product video was modeled off other web 2.0 intro videos (Dropbox 2min, Linkedin 2:35min) and was designed to provide first time users with an overview. We tried to create the stumbling blocks in the beginning b recreating events that commonly take place in the sharing of documents that the viewer would relate too. Probably, could have done better. Ultimately, we hope the video sparks interest by showing people the advantage of using our system over traditional document distribution methods. Thanks again.
