First off, Jessica is awesome. Second, this interview gives a rare glimpse of the YCombinator through the eyes of a non-pg founder.
In particular, I was surprised to hear that Jessica didn't see a "vision" in the early days and that it was more of a try-and-see type of thing to learn quickly about angel investing. Not sure pg's ever admitted that fact (or maybe just doesn't see it that way?).

We discovered that later by accident."
