Comment on Reddit Founders' YC Applicationparent

Comments

When PG offered us a chance to be in YC, we agreed to hop off the train in CT and grab the next one back to Boston to brainstorm with him about a new idea. From that ~1hr conversation came the idea for reddit. PG summed it up well: we were building a "front page of the web."

Sounds like a great scene for the Social Network 2: The Upvoting.

Way ahead of you. I wrote the script after spending 30 min reading blog posts that interview reddit founders. Than I realized the movie wasn't Hollywood enough, so I added frat parties, cocaine, and made PG 30 years younger and more eccentric and more of a ladies man.

I think I'm on to a blockbuster here. Does YCombinator invest in film productions?

Please let me be played by Christopher Walken.

If you add a dance routine, he may even do it for free. At least he did so for Weapon of Choice.
