> Don't worry about being a woman. Yes, it may be a little harder for you as a female founder. But it's not going to be so much harder that it will make the difference between success and failure. Startups at least have this advantage over the corporate world: they are already so hard that the additional difficulty imposed by being a woman is rounding error in comparison.
As a female founder of a YC startup (bottomless.com, YC W19), I totally resonate with this. While it is true that being a female in tech can be difficult, those difficulties don't even compare to how hard it is to get and sustain traction in a startup.

The only time we told YC about our relationship was during the application on the question of "how do we know each other" but other than that, no issue at all. They have been very welcoming and respectful. I can’t complain at all.

Hi, yes, we have thought about doing so. What company do you buy it from?

Yeah, thanks for your feedback! Would you pay for a set up fee if then you can get per bag cost?

Interesting use case on both sides of airport security!
Yes exactly. It's almost better to go to the store than having loads of product sitting around getting stale.

We were wondering whether this would be a good service for Airbnb listings, do you offer coffee for your guests? Anytime I've been into Airbnbs, my biggest complain is the bad coffee!

Hi, I'm glad that you're a happy beta customer, yes, USPS delivery times over the weekend are a challenge, we are working on ways we can improve that.

No, the scale last for up to 1 year on a single battery charge and we're working on improving that. We might do an Alexa skill in the future.
