What has YC (and every other prominent investor) been emphasizing lately? That the team is the most important part of the deal. And that team looks rock solid, arguably more so (on paper) than google did in 1999.
- Cherian_Abraham 16y agoTrue. But does that alone deserve a 100 million dollar evaluation? I dont know enough tech luminaries who can constitute a team that can command such a high price tag, on launch day none the less. What do I know? My own wife wouldnt put down $100 on me to win :)
- tuhin 16y agoMy own wife is a funny term. Redundancy at it's maximum.
- tuhin 16y agoWhy the downvote? It is redundant and I just dropped a note of English usage. If one has to emphasis, it would be "Even my wife...". Just like saying Round circle or Straight line! Or is the point of commenting only when you add hacking info?
- gjm11 16y agoThere's nothing wrong with "my own wife". (A Google Books search quickly turns up "my own wife", "my own child", "my own father", and "my own mother" in Dickens, for instance.)
