Apologies if you've posted on this before/elsewhere, but what do you specifically look for when deciding: team, product, market? Is there one that is more important than the others?
Even though we are not raising, the idea of raising money from someone who is actively part of the HN community is quite appealing. I think that speaks a lot about the character of the investor. Just like investors look at team, I think startups also look at the 'people' side of thier investors.
EDIT: I just saw a similar question cross-posted on your AMA post, so no need to answer here. My bad for not noticing that post first. Great stuff there!
EDIT2: Would love to know why the downvote after my first edit?
