When was the last time you looked at a yc company and didn't say "Damn that's a great idea." and then follow it up with "wow that's pretty good execution too".

It's a little scary how good the yc companies seem to be lately.
- peteforde 16y agoI'm not keeping a tally but I often find myself scratching my head and wondering what PG et al saw in some startups. My guess is that it's usually a bet on the people, not the idea. If you mentor a founder that eventually starts the next Google, they are going to remember that.
