Did you apply to YC, or were you invited to YC?
(I am curious how the process works for startups that already have significant traction before joining YC. Humble Bundle comes to mind.)
- ibdknox 14y agoWe had actually applied previously with a totally different idea, but then Light Table blew up and we resubmitted late.
- andrewcross 14y agoI'd always been curious about what needs to happen for a late application to be accepted. Thanks for the transparency!
- pg 14y agoWhen we realized that multiple YC partners had already independently contributed to the Kickstarter project because they wanted to use Light Table themselves, it was not a hard decision.
- jqueryin 14y agoI haven't seen Nathan talking about LT much. I'm assuming he's on the team from your previous YC attempt, am I correct? I was going to congratulate both of you, but I wasn't 100% sure.
- ibdknox 14y agoActually it's with another friend from high school :) He's dealing with trying to move out here right now, but you'll be seeing him a lot more - ibdthor is his username.
