Any information on how the three founders met?
That led to a full on search for a technical co-founder back in NYC. It took a fair amount of doing (and if you want to know more about finding a great technical co-founder in NYC, happy to discuss some more). After a lot of work, we found Ryan, and it's been great ever since.
I kept meaning to post that to HN, but never actually got around to it. Always happy to answer more questions.
Also do you guys plan on staying in NYC or moving out to California?
We hit a tipping point in early August where we realized we were onto something - no one thing did it, more an aggregation on a lot of signals and a lot of legwork and conversations. We decided the time was ripe to do it for real, and put all of efforts into "finding Ryan."
He handles all the real coding. I pitch in on some of the front end work (taught myself HTML and CSS) - but he's the guy who makes it all come together. Although, I do seem to get stuck with setting up printers and routers.
As for NYC/California: we're out in CA now for YC. We'll do whatever is best for the company when the program ends.
