Most were very supportive, especially David and Adam who are mentioned in the post, but not 100% of our investors were completely bought in. One concern that was brought up I mentioned in the article--it could be a big distraction to uproot the entire team and move to California for three months, when we already had some traction and a team in New York.

The team's complete support and unanimous decision to do YC made us more confident that rather than be a distraction, living in a house together in California would immensely improve our productivity and motivation. To commit ourselves to that, we decided as a team that we would work 13 out of 14 days during YC--we only took one day off every two weeks. In the end, we worked really hard but had a LOT of fun, and we accomplished so much more in those three months because we were living and working together. Also, missing the worst NYC winter on record while working in the sun was pretty nice.
