meta: its interesting that all of the team members are described with a short informal first name and a tagline while all the mentors are described with full names only. it certainly shows the disparity between the generations and their dif

Very happy about how open you are. This is amazing! A couple of questions: 1) what are "Happiness Heroes" and "Weekend Warriors"? What do they do for your company? 2) it seems that Mary is getting screwed, although I do

it is in pgs interest to create a worldview that hard work and dedication are the crucial factors that lead to success and downplay the effect luck has. it allows him to invest in startups very cheaply (less than a nice new car), have the f

This is an interesting market that you are targeting, but I'm curious what your revenue looks like. It looks like you are banking on people upgrading to a premium account to make money, but to me it seems like you are giving away fully

my theory is that there are not a lot of women in tech jobs because the men in tech jobs generally don't know how to interact with women. any woman that shows an interest in tech is not disuaded by the material, but rather by the inabi

there is a great exploration of why government agencies could, in fact, NOT have prevented the 9/11 hijackings in the book I am currently reading [Where good ideas come from, by Steven Johnson]. specifically in chapter 3, The Slow Hunc

in theory, what YC does is good for our society. they provide mentorship and opportunity to new companies and help lead them to success. I have no problem whatsoever with YC's existence nor with the people they fund. I just don't want to be

wouldn't it be funny if you not responding and you responding had the exact same effect because you don't add anything to the conversation? its like it doesn't even matter if you shut up or not.
