perfect example to give when someone asks about the value of YC. Sure $5K is a drop in the bucket..hell I just dropped that on my holiday promotion. But does anyone think that without the YC connections and validation, that the remail guys would have gotten this deal? I doubt that.
so you think a huge corporation like rackspace, would want to take a risk with a company run by a single person? Yes remail is a good app, but the fact that it's a one man show, no doubt raised questions for Rackspace, and the fact that he had YC backing no doubt helped eased them.
why would YC put a bad taste in the mouths of companies?
