You can sign for your co-founders - the person signing has to be a director of the company so it probably has to be a co-founder. If you have specific questions about the H1 you should contact the Buxfer founders - they're the first YC com

"We're getting ready to hire our first employee. We've decided to go with an intern, because they are cheap, and if they turn out to be an idiot it's easy enough to get rid of them." i bet that person feels very loved right now.

we found that having a specialized graphic designer who can't do any coding wasn't very efficient for getting things from idea to prototype quickly. having someone who has an interest in design and good UI but can also hack is the ultimate

"Bill Gates in particular is known as an avid bookworm - every other year, he spends a week doing nothing but reading, often for 18 hours a day." how many weeks do you think he took off to read while microsoft was still a startup?
