Wow great job Guys, in business since 2004 wow that is quite some time. Let me guess without the YC seal there would have been a NO from Techcrunch, good move Colourlovers!
We've been covered on TC before we did YC... but what is one of the most valuable things about the YC experience is the connections you make and the network you leave with. We actually met Jason at StartupSchool this year and told him about what we were working on... It was that meeting and that set this article up.
YC is just an experience, it's up to the founders to make it a great one.
