You're right. That makes a lot more sense, especially the $1.5M valuation. I missed the first line about Michael Siebel introducing them. Given his YC affiliation, it probably had a similar effect.

I think that's also wrong. Michael wasn't a YC partner at the time; he joined Justin.tv as CEO after Justin and Emmett got into YC again after selling their calendar app to Tucows or similar on eBay.

I did not say partner. He was a YC founder for years prior. He got Airbnb their YC interview. Let's drop this really boring thread ;-P
