I'm curious, why did you apply to YC if you were already bootstrapped and bringing in revenue? For the connections?

Unrelated, I like your "Tweet this quote" sidebars...clever idea. :)

Because when you start a company, everything is against you. Being a YC company, for the knowledge base and the connections, removes a lot of barriers and opens a lot of doors.

Plus, being two guys from the Midwest, we really didn't know what we were doing. After YC, our path was much clearer.

Cool, thanks for the honest response. :)
