Hi Aaron! Does it look bad if we have 4 founders ? Thank you, Channa
Nope. There's no good or bad when it comes to the number of founders so long as there's a reason for it.
Except 1 :-)

#62Hi Aaron, I'm about to submit our application for cosum, a mobile marketplace that lets people use coworking spaces worldwide on demand per hour instead of months. So basically we're changing the unit from a month to an hour (AWS > Server > Minute) so people pay their actual usage. We lower the price for consumers, increase their flexibility and increase the revenue of spaces by using their resources smarter. I intro…
Just describe what you're doing and how your team is split as you do here. I'd also want to know what the milestones are, and what that means in terms of pay and equity for the team members.
Thanks! Will do. I understand we're very early, but in one week we'll be a little bit less early and I think we can launch a closed beta before April 24. Proof of concept on the consumer side has happened, so I wanna focus on convincing spaces in the next days. How can I update you and the other partners on our process?

#63Aaron, I am curious if there has been any further development on bringing back the YC radio podcast?
I think that was a brilliant podcast and it offered a lot of valuable insight to others embarking down that path.

#64Im working on a product for the real estate market in Argentina: does that work against me for the YC application?
YC funds companies that focus in other (non-US) countries. There are a few that demo'd a few days ago that focused in Africa for example.

Aw thanks! I had a lot of fun doing it, but I think the podcast is done. We've started doing other cool things, though, like video office hours: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ-uHSnFig5PdSeZT05If...

#66We built both iOS and web apps. Both require login currently and the iOS app is farther along and more interactive as that is how we capture images. How do we get you guys the login info we made you? Or would we be better off sending a demo video showing both working in concert?
Demo video would be best, but you can also include login info in your application.

YC owns part of Reddit, I think. Don't anticipate any lawsuits over it.

#70Where is the line on "What is your most successful hack of a non-computer system" question? What would you consider clever and what would be over the line?
What if my best computer system hack is more impressive than my best non computer one?
Can I include multiple "hacks"?
