Thanks for writing this post. >When it came time to reapply, I did so with someone who was widely recognized as one of the smartest technical folks on HN Who was it? --- I'm a bit surprised that YC hasn't funded another non-technical, single founder yet. Even though there's only one Steve Jobs, I'd bet several non-technical people will go on to build great tech companies in the future. Perhaps these people have just found quality technical talent to partner with, so they're co-founders.

  How long had you known dfranke prior to applying?

    I had known him for a couple years, but we'd only started working together recently. That was probably the biggest reason, although when we got to the interview we discovered that rtm had apparently done his dissertation on something similar, so he had some technical objections also.
