"Anyone on the East Coast thinking of applying to YC should feel free to ask him any questions they have about YC or the application process."

How? Is there an email address?

Hopefully the answer isn't obvious and I've missed it.

Alexis is one of the most positive and helpful people in the startup community I know. He drew the original logo for Justin.tv, helped us on numerous occasions, and has even tried to launch my voice acting career (a long time dream of mine). Why is he so helpful? Because at heart, Alexis is a great guy who is genuinely interested in helping others.

This is a huge win for YC!

Thanks, Jkan. I've always felt your open-source reddit announcement is one day going to launch that voiceacting career.

Is YC planning on hiring similar "evangelists" for other places in the world? I'm wondering about Israel, specifically.
