This is Nivi from Venture Hacks and AngelList. I read the site a couple times a day, right after I read Techmeme. Bonjour.

I think a lot of VCs lurk here. I know one who says he checks HN first thing every morning.

Yes, there are many investors other than PG that read (and contribute to) HN.

Accredited investors now must have a net worth above $1 million excluding the value of their primary residence.

Alternatively they should have annual earnings above $2/300,000 (this will be reviewed.)
