   I'm in agreement with you on that - we pay all of our interns at The Muse. The posting referred to above is a way of recruiting people who are interested in contributing 1-4 mentoring posts per month, so very low commitment nights-and-

    Thanks for posting that - YC definitely helped us avoid some classic early-stage startup mistakes

    Thanks so much Jessica- we're so glad we did. YC was an unbelievably valuable experience. To the commenter below who asked how YC changed us & our company, there's not much that's more useful to an early, growing company

    Fair - It's helpful to ask around, if you can, re: what to expect ahead of time. I've seen Techcrunch posts cause a bigger spike than a Fox national TV appearance (3000-4000 visits, 1-2000 simultaneous) depending on the time of da

    Then don't take any equity and ask for a higher salary instead (or, accept that it's not a time you want to be taking a risk on a startup, and look at a bigger company role). The founders should believe that equity has a lot of va
