- SwellJoe 19y agoI agree. The most valuable thing, out of a wide array of valuable things, for us turned out to be the other founders. I can point to a dozen new features in our product that came from discussions at YC dinners (Ruby Gems module, mobile access, multiple usability enhancements, EC2 support, S3 support, and on and on). Our new website (launching soonish) turned out vastly better than it would have been without the feedback of guys like Kevin Hale of Wufoo and Evan from SocialMoth/Overhear.us (and some anonymous YC'ers on Overhear.us who took a look at it during various stages of development and gave us some pointers).
