Yes, but has he not sent the beer, he would have not been accepted. Yes, or am I missing something?
Although PG is very good at politics and if tried hard he could semi-well explain you that white is black (to one of my comments he replied that the most important for YC is a team -- in that case why would he want to invest or work with one of the top 100s spammer?

"It was more developed than the YC partners realized". and that actually a handful of smart people investing millions of dollars in never-ending train of startups couldn't imagine that a grocery delivery company is actually ... delivering groceries?? here, can we press it together? http://www.shopgadgetsandgizmos.com/product/4429/ http://www.shopgadgetsandgizmos.com/product/4429/
- brlewis 14y agoNo, the only interview was after the grocery delivery. Prior to that, none of the YC partners were interested enough to meet with him.
