1. Does YC have any plans to hire associates/interns?

2. What 3 early-stage startups excite you most that haven't been funded by YC?

3. Do you personally invest in startups?

4. What do you like most about your job?

5. Do you have some cool YC-related stories you could share?

6. What's a typical day like for you? (If "typical" doesn't apply, what'd you do today?)

1. No. 2. Square and Quora. Can't think of a third. 3. I've done a bit but don't have enough money to do more. 4. The people I work with. 5. Nothing springs to mind. There's probably some but I find it hard to just pull things out of my brain without context. 6. No typical day. Today I cleared out my inbox in the morning, did office hours in the afternoon and the weekly YC dinner is about to start now.

How are you ensuring that you are not missing Square and Quora kinds again? Is there a reason why you passed on both?

I don't think those guys applied to YC, having been founders/early at Twitter and Facebook. Plus, they probably wanted to raise more than $20k or whatever.
