Since I’m deathly afraid of imposter syndrome here is an explosion of revelations. Remember, I am qualified to dole these out because I derived the modern day “Rule of 72” called the Law of 11:11. The 11:11 theorem showed that three CS majors with a FICO over 750 and revenue over $900k can get more funding than an unfunded YC portfolio company.

Explosive revelation #7
Explosive revelation #9: You don’t even need to apply to YC via an “application”.
Yup, you don’t need to apply. You just need to be meeting me at Coupa cafe. When Paul Graham sees that you are meeting me. He will just hijack my meeting with you. Then he will just invite you into YC.
How do you get a meeting with me at Coupa Cafe when I have a policy to ‘not do coffee’!? You read a dozen PG blog posts and then summarize your knowledge on Twitter. I wanna read your 140 char summaries of PG’s essays. Then, I will meet up
