Paul and Paul, Robert, Jessica (and whoever else) ... I dont see any of you helping any of us (those not in the club).

If you're going to demand that the principals of YC help you, you might start by getting their names right ;). They are (ordered by last name) Trevor, Paul, Jessica and Robert. I think you might be confusing YEurope (that also has a Paul) with YC.

Realistically, I don't think you can expect them to help us on an individual basis. They would receive no benefit from doing so, and it would just detract their time from the focus of YC.

"Maybe if you took time out of your day to email a principal and offer some equity in exchange for mentorship/help, you might get some."

Tried that, didn't work...

Sorry. I was thinking of Paul Buchheit. Isnt he part of YC?

I am not "demanding" they help me. It was simply an observation.

Frankly, I dont need their help in order to succeed. :)

Though I am grateful to PG for this forum, news.YC

I am waiting on Someone who is greater than all of them put together, to help me.
