What caught my eye - number of n/a answers. It shows a certain level of ignorance on the applicant part. If these questions are included, they are included for a reason.
Second, single founder is a not a good fit for YC - everyone knows about it. Not addressing this issue wasn't very smart.
The Airbnb stunt is another proof that Loren wants more to stand out than to fit in.
- guynamedloren 13y agoIgnorance? Not at all. YC has thousands of applications to read in a short period of time. If a question says "If you're already incorporated, when were you?" and I go on to explain why I'm not incorporated, I'm wasting their time. N/A means "I'm not incorporated, this does not apply to me." Go and read the questions that have N/A as answers. They simply do not apply.

- bambax 13y ago> The Airbnb stunt is another proof that Loren wants more to stand out than to fit in Isn't it better for a founder to want to stand out than to "fit in"? Fit in what, exactly?
