Congratulations!
"I’ve never had a problem with self-confidence so saying that YC gives me a new feeling of self-confidence wouldn’t be accurate. I think what has done is given me a new sense of belief and that has come from being around people who have been a success. When you’re having dinner every week with people like Joe Kraus, Evan Williams, Paul Buccheit, PG it suddenly dawns on you that there’s actually a chance you can succeed despite stupid odds."

I think that your BBC articles and your co-founder's blog entries about Y-Combinator capture the feeling of what it is like to become part of the YC family. Thank you for sharing.
