What I Expected from YC and What I Got

Harj is totally wrong that we work hard to pitch YC startups to investors. They're so great they sell themselves! They fly off the shelves! So if you're interested in investing in one, better act fast...

I like this part:

"Co-Founder: Within a few weeks of being out in SV we were introduced to the guys behind, YouOS. As fate would have it, one of the founders (Srini) was actually living in the building next to us and we started having informal hacking lessons where he’d teach us how to hack... Once the three months were up he rejoined the YouOs guys to work on their new product, Project Wedding."

The synergies and group dynamics provided by Ycombinator is amazing. Best of luck to you.

Great read, thanks for sharing it. I'm really surprised that your original team weren't hackers. I'm curious about Patrick -- was he independently accepted to YC, and you guys just happened to have matching projects so you naturally ended up working together?

Enjoyable read, Harj. When are you guys heading back to SF? I'm sure you're itching to get back to the big pond. :)

Harj, this is inspirational. Thanks for sharing. I'll be keeping an eye on your company. All the best!

Good post, only makes me think that the UK (my homeland) has a long way to go :(
