Did you interview? Presumably you spoke to previous interviewees. Any difference in questions that you noticed?

Ask PG: What is the criteria for the pre startup school dinner / reception?

from the self-post dept.

I was accepted to StartupSchool but never got a email about the reception / dinner for Friday night before StartupSchool. What is the criteria or what is looked for when inviting people?

Is there anyone that wasn't accepted? Pretty much everyone I know and talked to got in. Maybe because of the increase to 1715 seats http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4477283

Because it looks like they have ~10 people and according to the top grossing charts on iOS they make a few hundred dollars a day. Gotta keep it going until better metrics and results, I presume.

You mentioned in the comments "But in the end we made some bad decisions and Fate didn’t forgive us for it."

What were those bad decisions ? And were the reasons you made them choices or circumstance?

And if someone is relatively new in the fitness app market what would your advice/suggestions/cautions be to them?

Could you give any examples from your portfolio of such young founders? What do you consider accomplishments? ( Might be subjective?)

Anyone know what the two YC companies Ben from Pinterest was a part of?

Re:I may have spoken too soon about TextMate 2 on Monday September 03, 2012 @10:28PM (#4472766)

Is there a reason one must update to the latest editor or the latest version of the editor. I have been using Textmate for the past 5 years. It has served me really well. If it continues to work as it always does, upgrading is for better productivity?

Honest question: Why do startups continue to setup their own infrastructure on AWS with ops? Scaling? Cost?
