Hey HN! Aaron here. I hope you find this post helpful, and happy to answer any questions!


Thanks for this. Very concise and covers a the important stuff. I've shared it with my team and asked them to let me know if I'm not delivering or could approve on any of the points you cover.


I've recommended teams that have been accepted, and recommended teams that have been rejected. It's really just another data point to consider, not a golden ticket.

And it certainly can't hurt to network with YC alumni, for reasons beyond just getting a rec.


Ultimately what you want to do is de-risk the potential investment by showing that you have significant traction, and having actual paying customers is a great way to do that.


Absolutely. It's a great sign.


Wow, thanks Sean. That really means a lot to hear.


Yes and no. In my situation (OP), I had about a month to find a place for my wife to live in NYC (until I got there after YC), find a place for our team to live in SF, and find someone to rent the place we owned in the DC area. And it all worked out. Sometimes the time constraints can be a good thing.


FYI: cofounder's name is "Mahbod", not "Maboo".


you're right! I referred to him with full name throughout the site later on (in the annotations), but the album cover was meant to be more playful, so I went with his nickname (http://rapgenius.com/Maboo). appreciate you looking out though :)


Congrats guys! Great service and well-deserved, we're big fans (and customers).


"He seceded when he was denied a permit"


Reminds me of Dharmesh Shah's talk at SXSW where he shared the-one-metric-to-rule-them-all that they developed at HubSpot to measure success for everyone on the team (from sales people to developers): CHI (Customer Happiness Index).

The concept is that everything the business does should be focused around the goal of increasing customer happiness, and this single metric aligns everyone's motives around the goal.
