Y Combinator applicant/candidate hilariously seeking CTO on Craigslist

Now I'm curious what their company does. Does anybody know someone who responded to try to learn more?

Also, as much as I assume the people running this company are completely clueless, I could actually see them trying to spin this to their advantage. One of the questions on the application is about hacking systems besides computers - they could say they hacked their way into finding a CTO in a limited amount of time. Of course, like all hacks, they aren't meant to last, and the CTO left after a month and they have nobody that can build them a product.

I really wish YC had a blog of their most entertaining failed investments.

Are you assuming that this application / applicant failed to make it?

Does anyone know who this is and if they 'squeaked through' ?

They're still accepting applications and haven't conducted interviews yet, but I'm willing to bet money these guys won't get in. The YC partners understand one of the most important things in a founding team is an ability to work together, so they always ask how they know each other.

10% is a pittance!
