In 2006 YC ran this ad in The Stanford Daily. I always thought it was funny. http://i.imgur.com/HuQxIXT.jpg http://i.imgur.com/HuQxIXT.jpg

- alexanderss 12y agoThis ad is the poster (pardon the pun) for YC sexism, it still appears in women in tech blog posts all the time. Hard to imagine being a Stanford student in 2006 who has never heard of "Y Combinator" and sees this ad. May get a laugh from a guy like Evan Spiegel, but is just plain creepy to a woman.
- mqsiuser 12y agoSergey and Larry actually "just got a job" after graduation: Researchers at a university pursuing a phd. They used THIS JOB to develop the technology for their (later) company. Then they FIRST tried to SELL the (search-)algorithm and when they didn't find someone (to pay a couple of millions) they started Google. AND... Larry is/was the driving master mind taking Sergey (and a lot of others) with him to success. Well... it's an add.
