Yes, exactly we can do ad-hoc distribution but the device UDID is required. For applications that applied to yc in the past, did you submit a link to download the .ipa file or a video demo of the app? or both?
Technical Co Founder | New York, NY | Experience in computer vision, information retrieval, and/or NLP/data-mining
We are looking for a hacker co-founder determined to succeed. You will be competing with Amazon, eBay, and Google - combined.
We are inventing the future of e-commerce through innovative tools to connect merchants to consumers. We have unchartered, tough problems to solve with a product that is already live.
The team - Marketing genius/business hustler Co Founder and CS PhD Technical Co Founder.
You are well rounded and frighteningly capable generalist that can tackle anything from Web design and frontend development, to Python on the backend and iOS if need be. We do have a preference for someone fantastic with computer vision, information retrieval, and/or NLP/data-mining, but we wouldn't prefer that over record of building and releasing cool stuff.
I agree with pg, all possible ways of "connecting with merchants" have not been invented and will forever be evolving. That said, what new kinds of e-commerce problems could be solved for merchants from photos uploaded with smartphones?
