- acangiano 16y agoI think this is a major opportunity for YCombinator.
- clistctrl 16y agoI know there's several of us here in Boston that are excited about this!
- jasonlbaptiste 16y agoAgreed. Alexis should come speak at Hackers and Founders Boston in October re: applying to YC :).
- dzlobin 16y agoYes! Maybe the startup bootcamp organizers can snatch him as a speaker as well, or at least at the H&F meetup that evening. I'm officially offering a ride in exchange for some roadtrip company/advice giving
- clistctrl 16y agoHe actually spoke there last year, you can watch it online here: http://alexisohanian.com/my-recent-talk-mit-startup-bootcamp http://alexisohanian.com/my-recent-talk-mit-startup-bootcamp
- kn0thing 16y agoHow can I say no to this? I'm getting in touch with the organizers for this year's Startup Bootcamp. I'll have to fly back that night, though, but it can work...
- igravious 16y agoYes indeedy, how about the other side of the pond, hmm? :)
- jgrahamc 16y agoWhen you want an Ambassador to London you know where I am :-) Having Alexis on board is great. He was great when the whole Digg/Reddit recursion thing went crazy that day. I still have the Reddit sticker on my suitcase that he sent out.
