Voted to Affirm on Jan 30, 2011, Explaining:
“Y Combinator companies only represent a small
fraction of the investable opportunities in
Silicon Valley (not to mention elsewhere in the
world). Being a Y Combinator company is bit
like being an Ivy League grad: it's a credential.
Y Combinator has become an authority on the
promise of fledgling companies and ideas. Yuri
Milner & Ron Conway are simply recognizing that
authority and making that credential more valuable
by providing easy capital for having run the Y
Combinator gauntlet.”
