- user24 16y ago> We were rejected after our interview, but Paul called us the next morning as we rode back to Charlottesville to say we could join YC if we came up with a new idea. That idea was reddit. top of the article ;)
- kn0thing 16y agoWhen PG offered us a chance to be in YC, we agreed to hop off the train in CT and grab the next one back to Boston to brainstorm with him about a new idea. From that ~1hr conversation came the idea for reddit. PG summed it up well: we were building a "front page of the web."
- alexophile 16y agoSounds like a great scene for the Social Network 2: The Upvoting.
- ilovecomputers 16y agoWay ahead of you. I wrote the script after spending 30 min reading blog posts that interview reddit founders. Than I realized the movie wasn't Hollywood enough, so I added frat parties, cocaine, and made PG 30 years younger and more eccentric and more of a ladies man. I think I'm on to a blockbuster here. Does YCombinator invest in film productions?
