Comment on Pair (YC W12) raises $4.2M round of funding

Comments

I don't get the value add here and why its fundable. I'm sure its useful, but will it become ubiquitous? I doubt it. So it seems like the VC's are trying to have another Instagram hit.

But that's a VC's job. To take risks and hope for the next big thing. I don't see it here. Maybe this team, but not this idea.

It's fundable because it's a YC startup. If it weren't a YC startup, it would likely not even be news.

Seems like a niche product, but I reckon it's got huge potential. People are vain. This lets someone else make you feel good 24/7. I think $4.2m is going to get this into a lot of pockets.
