I couldn't have raised money without Aaron's help. There's so many people who are willing to offer advice or try to be involved with a raise, but Aaron and Janelle were the only two people who actually helped.

They made great intros, had lots of advice, and were incredibly helpful from start to finish. I remember a few times calling Aaron randomly to get his take on a meeting I had just had, and he was always there to help. Aaron was the only person I trusted... he was on my side and helped when he could, but was also brutally honest when necessary.

Thanks Aaron, and best of luck with whatever is next!

Oh wow - didn't know this was on HN, so I'm guessing at least a few founders are shaking their heads at me and wondering why I'm not engaging with the commenters...

I may have left YC, but HN is still home, so long as Daniel lets me stay.

Thanks so much Greg. I've always enjoyed working with you and watching what you build and do (and draw).

I'm always happy to help, whenever you need it.

Thanks Aaron. Your office hours with us were some of the most valuable parts of our YC experience. Happy trails & look forward to seeing what you do next.

Wow, what a nice thing to say. Loved working with you as well. The world needs what you're doing, and I'm happy to have helped even a little.
