Who is Matt Maroon? I see his blog posts always get a lot of attention here. Just a quick bio would be appreciated!



He's the Kim Kardashian of YCombinator - you are not really sure why he's famous, but for some reason everyone seems to be paying attention to him.


Does he have a fat ass or a sex tape?


I guess that's better than being the Paris Hilton of YCombinator.

However, I wouldn't call any YC founders "famous".


I don't know who Kim Kardashian is, so I'll just take that as a compliment.


Read more MediaTakeOut. You'll know with time, oh yes, you'll know with time...


I have a feeling that in this case, ignorance is bliss.


Actually, on a more serious note, I'm disappointed that you don't know who she is. If you want to be an entrepreneur, then you need to be aware of things that are outside of your field. You need a diversity of information, not just pre-filtered information.

You don't need to follow her antics, but being totally unaware of her shows a serious hole in your exposure to popular culture, which would make me wonder how you can create a product for the masses, when you are not aware of what media they are consuming.

You see what I'm saying?


Poker player gone YC entrepreneur gone HN hero FTW.


Also writes some of the most wittiest comments on HN. But for some reason, most of them get downvoted. :-)


What was the startup?



I started a company that was funded by YC. It's Blue Frog Gaming, and our first product is Draftmix.com
