of course. I wasn't being a dick, sorry -- I was just curious. I think these funds really value if the founders have already made the jump and are powering along 24/7 before seed funding.

Looking forward to your next post. You can totally jump down my throat when I write a post if we don't get into YC tomorrow ;)




Please do write a post. I want more info out there about the "real" state of startups. There's too much get-rich-quick crap that distorts the reality (especially about iPhone apps).

The truth is that it's a long hard slog to any sort of success.

We also applied to YC, so we expect to get rejected tomorrow as well ;)


Don't we hear back today? Says April 6th here: http://ycombinator.com/s2009.html


We only hear back if we get invited to the interviews. My finger is hovering over the "buy tickets" button on Expedia. ;)


tell me about it. Talk about pay thru the nose from the UK.


Return flights London to SF were about £340 last time I checked a few days ago, but they involved some fairly horrible connections making the whole flight ~17h.

Hopefully I _do_ have to go through that torture! :)




Consider applying for YC's Spring batch! Applications are open till Feb 11.
