Who is Matt Maroon? I see his blog posts always get a lot of attention here. Just a quick bio would be appreciated!

- matt1 18y agoPoker player gone YC entrepreneur gone HN hero FTW.
- spencerfry 18y agoWhat was the startup?
- rnesh 18y agohttp://www.draftmix.com http://www.draftmix.com
- luckystrike 18y agoAlso writes some of the most wittiest comments on HN. But for some reason, most of them get downvoted. :-)
- markessien 18y agoHe's the Kim Kardashian of YCombinator - you are not really sure why he's famous, but for some reason everyone seems to be paying attention to him.
- alaskamiller 18y agoDoes he have a fat ass or a sex tape?
- fallentimes 18y agoI guess that's better than being the Paris Hilton of YCombinator. However, I wouldn't call any YC founders "famous".
- mattmaroon 18y agoI don't know who Kim Kardashian is, so I'll just take that as a compliment.
- markessien 18y agoRead more MediaTakeOut. You'll know with time, oh yes, you'll know with time...
- mattmaroon 18y agoI have a feeling that in this case, ignorance is bliss.
- markessien 18y agoActually, on a more serious note, I'm disappointed that you don't know who she is. If you want to be an entrepreneur, then you need to be aware of things that are outside of your field. You need a diversity of information, not just pre-filtered information. You don't need to follow her antics, but being totally unaware of her shows a serious hole in your exposure to popular culture, which would make me wonder how you can create a product for the masses, when you are not aware of what media they are consuming. You see what I'm saying?
- mattmaroon 18y agoI started a company that was funded by YC. It's Blue Frog Gaming, and our first product is Draftmix.com
