Ask PG: Adding team members
Hi Paul, as this is the eve of announcements for second round interviews, this isn't the best time to ask the question, but I'm curious nonetheless.
The question is: whats happens if people are added to the team after the app has been submitted? I'll use myself as an example. when I submitted my app I submitted as a single person. After the deadline I added two critical co-founders to help execute the technical side. Since then, I've been concerned that the app would have been considerably strengthened had I included the other co-founders in the app. What are your thoughts?

It certainly strengthens an application to have multiple founders, but there is not much you can do if you add them after we've read it. We have to have some cutoff; we can't reread every application that gets changed, or we'd never be able to read them all.
Didn't you ask this exact same question a few hours ago?

Yes, here it is: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1859720
Yeah, but didn't get a response (it was buried within another thread so I assumed PG didn't get a chance to read)
