And I will report back about my startup on demo day in August -- I'd rather it be a "you can succeed if you weren't accepted" story rather than a "told you so" one, because frankly I think pg et al. are perfectly confident with the startups they have chosen. Unfortunately I have two very challenging startups at the same time, but fortunately both are well under way!
Edit: None of the websites in my profile are my startup unless it explicitly is prefaced with startup:.
Ah gotcha, well then I shall retract my previous statement.
I wasn't aware of the quote :)
But still the offer stands, I love talking to people about their startups (as well as my own) and discussing various perspectives. I think lines of communication are important!
Well actually I'm glad you pointed it out. I'm sure several people had thought/would have thought it was an arrogant quote.
Yes, there should be a way of communicating more easily. Why isn't chatterous embedded in HN? I've been tempted to create a portal that keeps track of startups (techcrunch and wikipedia are no good for this). It would probably be a waste of time... or would it?
