> Hopefully 2 Stanford CS PhD students hacking on their project would be funded by YC today :)

Around the dawn of YC, IIRC, when PG did the "summer founders" or something like that, a group of 4 of us Lisp hackers applied as a team. No response.

We were mostly in grad student-like lifestyle modes, and not tied down, were energetic, and already had various applicable experience.

But I think PG was mostly looking for barely-20 year-olds to drop out of college, rent an apartment in Harvard Square together, and sit around hacking in towels.

Since that's what he wrote in one article. Which I guess trumped the article in which he said Lisp hackers are great for startups.

Now his latest article says he's going after 14 and 15 year-olds. :)
