same happens to me.
nmeyer··on Y Combinator Companies Didn't Like Boston?
Yep that's still the name. Sort of keeping low for now.
nmeyer··on Y Combinator Companies Didn't Like Boston?
I threw a party over the summer at my place in Cambridge, and there were a few of us who actually went out often. But we had gone to MIT so we knew what was fun. So, yes -- it has everything to do with investment opportunities. There are a few companies planning to go to New York for the music companies. (This includes us)
nmeyer··on Labeling A company as YC rejected? Not OK?
He didn't literally mean 20 minutes. Even if he did, that's not the point he was trying to make.
nmeyer··on Ask PG: How many submissions yet?
Fo' Sho'
nmeyer··on Cool meet for lunch networking site

nmeyer··on What system do you use for bug tracking?
Unfuddle!
nmeyer··on Why don't most web 2.0 startups use sophisticated algorithms?
merge sort ftw.
nmeyer··on If you are reading this you are not working on your startup.
don't you tell me what to do. i'm a reble.
nmeyer··on Applying to Y Combinator as an undergrad
I was an 08' at MIT and I'm a current summer founder. I dropped out, and it's going well. There are a few other undergrads in this session -- but no one who plans on going back to school.

Really, everyone fares really well, and whether you were an undergrad/grad/35 years old never comes unto play -- unless it's while joking around over dinner.

It's a great time and you should definitely apply!

Fred is a really cool guy. Talked to him about my company 2 months ago.
