Even though this is old, I'm glad it's here again. Jessica deserves so much credit for the success of YC but she's far too humble to make a big deal of it herself. It's important for the rest of us to call this out once in a while.
Thank you Jessica for everything you've done and do.

- AmericanOP 3y agoThis was like the golden age of individuals furthering the zeitgeist of entrepreneurial discovery. A glowing recommendation from a luminary was like finding a missing piece of the puzzle.
- crashingintoyou 3y ago"Jessica deserves so much credit for the success of YC but she's far too humble to make a big deal of it herself." It seems to me that one reason for her success is that's she's able to exist in the limelight. Give her a higher profile and I'm not sure that the her approach as described in PG's post would work as well. I'm not convinced that everyone wants much attention - I know that I don't.
