Yes. Have you used reMail? The product is awesome and it sells itself. I highly doubt YC was even part of the consideration.

Honestly, I feel like having YC backing you might actually end up putting a bad taste in the mouths of some companies.

so you think a huge corporation like rackspace, would want to take a risk with a company run by a single person? Yes remail is a good app, but the fact that it's a one man show, no doubt raised questions for Rackspace, and the fact that he had YC backing no doubt helped eased them.

why would YC put a bad taste in the mouths of companies?
