perfect example to give when someone asks about the value of YC. Sure $5K is a drop in the bucket..hell I just dropped that on my holiday promotion. But does anyone think that without the YC connections and validation, that the remail guys would have gotten this deal? I doubt that.
- JMiao 17y agogabor's a fairly enterprising guy.
- vaksel 17y agoyeah, but would someone like Rackspace want to take the risk if he didn't have YC backing him?
- nudist 17y agoYes. Have you used reMail? The product is awesome and it sells itself. I highly doubt YC was even part of the consideration. Honestly, I feel like having YC backing you might actually end up putting a bad taste in the mouths of some companies.
- vaksel 17y agoso you think a huge corporation like rackspace, would want to take a risk with a company run by a single person? Yes remail is a good app, but the fact that it's a one man show, no doubt raised questions for Rackspace, and the fact that he had YC backing no doubt helped eased them. why would YC put a bad taste in the mouths of companies?
