Dan was one of those guys who would light up the room when he came in. He was always very positive and he genuinely cared about others. I definitely agree he was the heart of our YC Summer 08 batch and gave so many of us great advice.
Dan, you were a good friend and will be missed.
- speby 17y agoSo true. One of my favorite memories of him was when we first met him and Tom in June of 2008, right when we had begun Y Combinator that summer. Brad, one of my co-founders, and I had flown in from Chicago to start living there that summer and hadn't found a place to live yet so we crashed at Tom and Dan's pad for a night, sleeping on the couches. It was a nasty, hot summer night and they didn't have A/C. Not only did we stay up late drinking but Brad and I barely went to sleep. Early in the morning before we had to leave, Dan was up (he was usually a morning guy) and made us this incredible breakfast for us. It was just about the nicest god damn thing we could have had that morning after such a shitty night's rest. Dan was in my book instantly as one of the nicest, coolest guys to have met and gotten to know that summer.
- rantfoil 17y agoI just shared some photos from the summer with Dan on my blog. I am just so freaking shattered thinking about how that was just a year ago, and now this. http://garry.posterous.com/dan-haubert-1984-2009-we-will-miss-you-always http://garry.posterous.com/dan-haubert-1984-2009-we-will-mis...
