Yes, Square Cash is beautiful but I don't agree with you that the app is elegant and effortless. 3 annoying parts about the app: - lack of built-in calculator, the Venmo's bulit-in calculator makes it really easy to calculate the

How liquid YC equity is? I assume that by getting google stock, someone can sell them easily in the public market. But how does it work with YC equity?

YC will try to help on this as much as possible. We have a YC-International mailing list for international founders who have to deal with visa problem. In most cases, one or more founders who were from the previous batches will be able to

You didn't actually clean up the data that you have tho. Another flaw of your analysis is that you didn't look at where the founders went to school for their undergraduate/graduate(this probably doesn't matter). I opened
