I hate to be that guy... but I'm not impressed by this application. At all. I am aware that YC is looking for adventurous founders who aren't afraid to bend the rules in their favor - or break them outright. I can appreciate that. These guys were clearly aware of that and it seems like they developed their responses accordingly. They deliberately showed their mischievous side to game the system. And then they released their yc application to further game the (pr) system. I guess this is a big part of what startups are about, so well played. I'm interested to see where this company goes.

Edit : should have said thanks in advance for the downvotes. Criticism is not accepted on hn these days.



don't hate the player, try to love it.


I don't hate the players. These particular players just do not come off as candid, is all.


it's true but that's what they should do.. After these guys, I guess our responses on application are too naive and honest :)
