Ask PG: Would you have funded Instagram if they had applied for YC?
- ScottWhigham 14y agoAnyone seen pg on here answering "Ask PG" type of questions lately? I had asked a rather basic one last month that received 16 or 17 votes but he never came by. I don't think I've seen him answering any of the "Ask PG" things lately. I hope he comes through and works through some of these though - I enjoy hearing from him.
- aashaykumar92 14y agoThe YC W13 cycle must be keeping him busy!
- soneca 14y agoSure, I hope he is reading my aplication instead of answering "what if..." questions! :D

- brudgers 14y agoNotice that the answered question isn't asked lazily. The question's author expanded upon the headline in a meaningful way whereas the above question requires PG to do develop the entire context for any answer he might give. I doubt this is the sort of counter factual YC spends a lot of time considering, and the post makes no effort to spark its consideration.
- soneca 14y agoLast week he very kindly answered some doubts about international startups on YC. And that was a ASK HN with no upvotes... http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5253584 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5253584
