Notifo (YC W10) gets a Co-Founder... Me

i've used this service and i think it's great! I'm a huge google voice sms user and I hated the fact that i couldn't get PUSH notifications when new messages would come in. Notifo solved the problem and it works great. Yes there were other options like boxcar but that required me to leave my computer on all day while Notifo didnt. BIG PLUS!

Only downside is whenever i try to open the app on my ipod touch - it always crashes - even when installing the new update. But it's not a huge issue because i still get notifications coming in.

So before this, was Notifo a one-man YC-funded startup?

this is what i want to know. I'm not sure and I'm not trying to thread crap but is the title Co-Founder the proper word to use? I'm curious because wouldn't a "founder" be someone who started the company from the beginning? From what I understand Paul joined afterwards (after the angel investing).

Congrats Paul! Hope you guys can continue to keep burn low by eating essentially every one of your meals at the Googleplex.

Like I said in an email to jazzychad last week, Notifo is my favorite YC company. It's an amazingly simple service that does exactly what I need without much setup. Congratulations!

striking resemblance to notify.me which came out several years ago...
