A few days ago, I asked if PG was still doing YC interviews (the right answer is no).

When he handled YC over to Sam Altman (in 2012) he said he would still be holding office hours with YC companies. Is that stil the case? If so, how often?

I don't know how often, but he's definitely being doing some.

Small point, but the handoff was in early 2014, not 2012.

Yes, I was wrong, sorry, I guess it feels like it happened ages ago...

I imagine it must be hard to get a slot with him nowadays, right?

We just got accepted into YC. Wondering if we'll ever be able to meet him.

I feel like a teenage boy going to the backstage of a concert to meet my rockstar idol. I'll probably take selfies...
