I couldn't get into YC, so I joined a startup that did

My YC W11 company is hiring! Join Comprehend Systems to see first hand what it's like inside a YC company, while helping us create next-generation database and visualization software!

If you're familiar with either Enterprise Java or custom JS visualizations (Highcharts, EXT-GWT, etc), you can submit your resume to careers@comprehend.com.

Interesting. I'd like to know how you met the team you ended up joining. That is something I am looking to do as well.

That was actually surprisingly easy. We're both from Slovenia where the startup community is somewhat smallish. They've heard about me before and knew I was free.

Then the fact that a hacker friend of mine was friends with one of them and they approached him to join, and him recommending me to join as well, really sealed the deal.

In short: I had luck. But the sort of luck you work hard on creating.

edit: this post is horribly put together, but I don't know how to fix it without devolving into bool algebra. Hope it makes at least some sense :)

Best of luck guys!

Awesome. Congrats.

On an unrelated note, does Disqus not work for anyone else? I'm clicking on the text area and it doesn't do anything.

Anyway, congratulations! Sounds like you're really excited, which is a great attitude to have for this sort of thing. :)

Hmm ... that would explain the lack of comments on popular posts lately ...

What browser are you using?

Chrome on OS X. Tried Firefox and it does the same thing.

I don't think it's a problem with your site or code. It's probably on Disqus's end.

Chromium on OSX works for me ... will look into it. THanks.

I'll be in Palo Alto from July 5th on and am awesome. I'm emailing you now.
