The thing is, what does Pinboard actually need? It's a lean one man operation, and has a viable subscription model. Why would that person want VC money?

- idlewords 11y agoI like money!
- overcast 11y agoIt's not your money!
- narrowrail 11y agoI do not understand the point of this comment at all. Everybody doing 'Apply HN' is looking for outside capital. Pinboard has a loyal following that would probably be interested in additional value being added to it.
- bbcbasic 11y agoI think it is clear. When someone invests in your business, it is not your money. It belongs to the business and is there to help the business grow.

- saturdayplace 11y agoHis actual response when a YC partner sincerely offered to work with Pinboard: > I feel like after seven years, I have a pretty good sense of what bookmarking/archiving needs people have, but am at the limits of what I can personally build. If the votes swing my way, I'd be happy to have a good-faith conversation with you.[0] [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11441978 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11441978
