Thanks for the thoughtful comment Renee. Great example. I definitely think the stage between initial product and scaling the marketing and business model is super interesting. And, I also think this is a stage that is under represented in most of the discussion on startups. I hope to change that.

Interesting thoughts re: a “Z Combinator” for a startup's second step. There was a profile on a written of Zipcar in Inc magazine a couple of years ago that explores this theme. The company was founded by Robin Chase, who implemented many of the key features we know today: online booking, pay by the hour, key-card entrance. However, the second CEO, a guy with a consulting background, took the company from startup mode to established, profitable company solving seemingly small inefficiencies. For example, he found out that weekday daytime usage was low, so he made discreet-logo cars to target business users. He also focused marketing and car placement on key neighborhoods to make bookings reliable to the early users. The article gives a good illustration of tweaks a creative young company can make to get to the next step.

Article:

How Fast Can This Thing Go, Anyway?

Zipcar was a classic founder-run company–long on passion, short on cash. Until a new CEO came aboard, gave the business a seven-step tune-up, and put the pedal to the metal.

I also had a great experience with the Y combinator, it actually made something that I wanted, and I was more than willing to pay for. Still let's face it: Google will always have the greatest programs and hardware - they're investing a great deal in development. Michelle Trianz

Hey Matt, like your idea about a Z Combinator. I definitely think there's a need for something after a startup accelerator to help with the practical concerns of continuing to build the company and grow as a founder.

BTW: Here's an interesting example of a buddy of mine trying to tackle this problem, it's early on but he's getting good traction so far: http://forceforthefuture.com/founders-first/
