Isn't this submission about Y Combinator joining him on that book tour?
> We’re thrilled to announce that Y Combinator will be joining Alexis Ohanian on the road starting next week for the Without Their Permission tour.
I think this is how a lot of people here will inevitably read this: The most famous startup incubator is going to be joining Alexis, a well-liked guy, Reddit cofounder, on a tour to promote his book (and by extension, the personalities of the participating parties themselves -- this is just the nature of promotion tours, you don't just raise the profile of a book, album, or movie, you're also raising the profile of the parties involved). The first three stops are Harvard, MIT, Tufts. At each stop there are successful YC alums telling budding entrepreneurs that YC is the way to go. Something I don't necessarily disagree with because I like YC, I'm just pointing out that it's perhaps a bit disingenuous to reduce what's going on here to "just Ohanian's book tour".
- kn0thing 13y agoSorry this wasn't more clear, but this is a 150+ stop booktour: http://withouttheirpermission.com/tour-dates http://withouttheirpermission.com/tour-dates It's not limited to just the stops where there'll be YC members.
