Hey, we actually got funded by someone who found us at a Boston demo day. I'm pretty sure we're the only ones ever to do so though.

You're right about their cheesy sibling rivalry thing (which doesn't stop at demo day scheduling). I guess what else would you expect given that they straight up lifted their application from YC.

I've always granted you honorary membership among the ranks of the bold Silicon Valley investors, Fred (you're also smart and good looking, and I bet you can cook, too). But I'm glad to hear that some (at least two) YC companies are getting funded in Boston, since pg doesn't seem interested in moving the SFP to the valley.
