You see, I see YC like a grad school. But way more competitive and way more “street”. By street, I mean street business smart. Yup, I’m kinda a scary Obi Wan Kenobi inking a street smart deal with Han Solo. (R2D2 being a Jedi is a different post) Similar to how I say Chewbacca, was CTO of the Millennium Falcon. Very smart.\u00a0<\/div>\n
