great job guys! now allow me to overstep my bounds: your trypair.com site is nearly impossible to read. here, i made a few changes: http://i.imgur.com/REGrI.jpg i'll send the psd if you want. it's just 10 minutes of mods without much effort, but i think this should be easier to read.

Pair (YC W12) raises $4.2M round of funding

#32I'm sure the YC team and Pair would say that it's more than just a mobile app though, which makes me curious...what do investors want to see when funding an app like this? Where is the distinction between something like Camera+, which is profitable but probably not fundable, and something like this or Instagram?

> Having an app just for your significant other is a huge plus. I couldn't have said it better.
I am pretty sure I was going for a 'for you and your partner' there. Not sure where that you want. Glad it's entertaining.

#35I don't get the value add here and why its fundable. I'm sure its useful, but will it become ubiquitous? I doubt it. So it seems like the VC's are trying to have another Instagram hit. But that's a VC's job. To take risks and hope for the next big thing. I don't see it here. Maybe this team, but not this idea.

#36Can someone explain the opportunity in Pair? I tried it for a few days with my wife. Cool concept and thumb kiss was cute but we later reverted to iMessage just cause its more convenient and accessible. What 'pain point' does pair solve?

I was agreeing with you, in fact, complimenting you.
