For as much as HN'ers like to complain about day jobs and their stupid managers, I'd just like to point out that this is one of the least professional job postings I've ever seen.

Let the downvotes begin! :)

Why is this being down voted?

This is the same guy that put up this very job posting - he's just describing what the company does!

Either people made a mistake or possibly they agree with yef's sentiment above and are taking it out on this comment since they can't downvote the actual submission.

I think you're selecting for the wrong people with a post like this. Find people who are excited about changing the industry, not just excited about working for someone funded by YC.

Why am I looking for an unpaid internship with a mysterious startup, again?
