[20:33] <nudb2> sorry writing elsewhere
[20:33] <nudb2> ill address you in a bit
[20:33] <hi5> no problem!
[20:33] <hi5> thank you!! i appreciate it
[21:05] <nudb2> hi I'm back
[21:05] <hi5> hi
[21:05] <nudb2> that knowledge is not relevant
[21:05] <nudb2> here is my model
[21:05] <hi5> why not??
[21:05] <nudb2> pastie.org/2834181
[21:05] <nudb2> it's long, sorry
[21:05] <nudb2> it's complicated
[21:06] <hi5> oh i'm just interested in working for a YC company, and i think someone told me that u know about this?
[21:06] <hi5> have u ever worked with one?
[21:08] <nudb2> I'm in a conundrum because you're obviously trawling for my personal infromation, which I do not want to be associated with at this time
[21:08] <nudb2> the reason is given here pastie.org/2834181
[21:08] <nudb2> though it's a long rad
[21:08] <hi5> huh? this has nothing to do with personal info
[21:08] <nudb2> read
[21:08] <nudb2> and the initial idea is linked elsewhere
[21:08] <hi5> im a high school student and want to volunteer with one
[21:09] <hi5> just because its good experience
[21:09] <nudb2> I am looking for an investor at the moment
[21:09] <nudb2> sorry
[21:09] <nudb2> well, good luck with it
[21:09] <nudb2> go on hackernews and look for it
[21:09] <hi5> why cant you talk?
[21:09] <nudb2> I'm sorry I have like 8 pm's
[21:09] <hi5> this will be quick though
[21:09] <hi5> i just need to know what to do, according to an insider, so that i dont mess up
[21:10] <nudb2> it's just a job like every other job
[21:10] <hi5> which one did u work for? i promise i won't tell
[21:10] <nudb2> except with a bunch of kids who've never run a real business and probably never will
[21:10] <hi5> why do u say that?
[21:10] <nudb2> Becvause real businesses know that it takes money to make money
[21:10] <nudb2> and these kids think that if they have to spend a dime, then that's a flawed idea
[21:10] <nudb2> what a bunch of tools
[21:10] <hi5> i agree with u, thats why YC exists- to get the money
[21:10] <hi5> to the companies
[21:10] <nudb2> I actually had someone here say: If you can't bootstrap the idea, it doesn't deserve funding
[21:11] <hi5> lmao thats really dumb
[21:11] <nudb2> little do they know that "venture" in "venture capital" means risk, and innovation is somethign no yc company has ever done
[21:11] <hi5> yeah and part of that venture is finding the right people to work
[21:11] <nudb2> a yc company can never be the next Google, Skype, YouTube or Microsoft or even FaceBook
[21:11] <nudb2> but anyway good luck
[21:11] <hi5> im willing to work for free because i want to be involved with something big
[21:11] <hi5> which morons did you work for??
[21:11] <hi5> just give me a hint so i can avoid it
[21:12] <nudb2> You are being extremely obvious.  Listen, I worked for real companies and have been keeping confidentiality for ten years, with a lot bigger things than what you're trying to get out of me.
[21:12] <nudb2> If I decide that I"m not going to be associated with the YC scene, then I am not.
[21:12] <nudb2> period, end of story.
[21:12] <hi5> obvious?
[21:12] <hi5> the yc seen gets the money though
