You still really think he did all of that only because of YC's ~6% stake in them?

If someone still has any doubts about the value of YC, they should read this email exchange. PG is pushing for the startup as if it was his own. He genuinely wanted them (and also the VC firm) to succeed. Great stuff.

Just been on it for a day. The best thing so far has been that it gives me a chance to connect with hackers in India and discuss specific issues with them. Mailing lists just don't cut it when it comes to interacting with like minded folks
