If you're Mark Zuckerberg, or Paul Graham,...do you still get to sit at the lunch table with everybody else? This is such a funny question. I'm the co-founder

This is such a funny question. I'm the co-founder of http://LetsLunch.com http://LetsLunch.com: we let you apply for lunches with Silicon Valley celebrities and you'd be surprised how approachable they can be.
But really, we are a way for fellow HNers to meet each other without the obstruction of a computer screen.
That's because we believe in is that there are plenty of brilliant people you could meet (over lunch...) who are not famous yet. Those are the people you want to get to know. Meeting pg is just icing on the cake :-)
- blhack 16y agoNothing wrong with a shameless plug :-P (I'm sure you understand that I didn't literally mean lunch...). That seems like it would be really fun, like a blind date, except you're looking for technical connections, not romantic ones.
- alain94040 16y agoBut by saying lunch, you hit the nail on the head. Actually taking the time to sit down with someone for lunch is one of the highest forms of respect. In contrast, a meeting in a cold conference room doesn't convey the same message.
- klbarry 16y agoJust curious, is there a company like LetsLunch in NYC? Are you possibly planning an expansion?
- alain94040 16y agoYes, we are working on expanding, especially NYC. No announcement yet, it's tricky but a very big opportunity.
