If you're willing to raise the $20K for 1.5% of Pinboard under the same terms YC offers (minus access to YC & its resources) - I'm willing to make that happen; no guarantees, but pretty sure it's possible.
If you're interested, let me know.
Thanks, but $20K is about three weeks of revenue for me. It's not as funny if I sell a piece of the company for peanuts to anyone else.
What would possibly be funny and/or interesting would be you taking this opportunity to disrupt the whole funding business, not just in a kickstarter vein, but by some means that does help to reinforce your own values. Of course, pinboard's business model already does this, to some extent, but I'm sure you could do something innovative by exploring the next level of investment.
This post is a good reason for why you shouldn't be picked.
On the contrary, it means he was more in it to go through the process or have access to YC than the money. This is precisely why he should have been picked.
They're all presumably adults, I'm sure they could get through some differing opinions, no?
