    This is great that they are starting to look outside of the US for startups. However, in this batch there not one startup that bring some big innovation or that I look particularly forward to use...

    I mean ICONFINDER?! Do they really needs to be incubate / raise money?

    Tealet? A subscription based business on tea? Wow...

    The list goes on...

    really disappointed in this batch of 500 Startups.

    Great to see one of the few Silicon Valley investors who invest outside the Valley. There is a huge potential and talent outside the US.

    I like that they are trying to select more international companies and companies with female founders.

    Reading through the list I don't see any really innovative companies.
