Why advertise a venture capital company for free?

  I considered doing the same thing myself, as a way to start random conversations with local coders & startup folks. I often work from cafes or public places, and I figured it's a way of inviting coders who walk past to say "Hey, I saw your sticker... do you read Hacker News? I'm working on a startup too. What are you working on?"

    There once was the official Hacker News tee shirt. Sales raised money for Watsi and the design was "rather subtle". The shirts are long since sold, but thread is still a great read: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5363290 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5363290
