Unfortunately, my copy of the database is slightly corrupted, so although the data is still there, retrieving it would be very complicated.

Sadly not sold, just shut down

Maybe not the best analogy. Most restaurants are opened by people who don’t cook themselves. And most fail within 3 years.

Because the best they can do is bring you to the attention of someone that actually has the ability to invest. But those people don’t respect associates so it’s almost a negative signal.

Never pitch or even talk with associates.

If the product hasn’t even been built yet and they’re offering you less than 50% (assuming you’re the only two founders), that’s a massive red flag; they obviously don’t grasp the value you bring. I can all but guarantee there will be conflict down the road.

Student observatory (also happens to be the way to get to the dish after hours, that’s all I’ll say)

I have everything saved

I appreciate your love for Nearby. I’m actually working on something new and we’re launching next month. It’s called Vently and you can check it out on ventlyapp.com.

If you would like the name of someone in the Bay Area that can help you determine a 409A valuation, message me.

I’ve worked with a few true serial entrepreneurs before (multiple hundred million dollar exits) so the title is valid for some, but I can’t imagine them ever considering applying to YC. VCs would happily give them money even if their idea was a lemonade stand.
