I was at YC when Milner and Shpilman arrived. It was about 630pm, we'd just had office hours with PG, and I saw the both of them hanging around discreetly in the lobby.
About 5-10 mins passed and eventually I felt bad and walked over and asked if I could help, to which Shpilman replied, in a thick Russian accent, that he was hear to see Harj. Yuri was keeping himself to himself. I walked over and told Harj they were a couple of ppl waiting to meet him, then went and sat with my cofounder at the end of one of the long tables.
I jokingly said to my cofounder that they must be the DST guys, wanting to invest in YC. I had no idea I was correct, they were very low profile.
