It would be interesting the learn the terms of the deal. Presumably it's nothing like the standard $120k for 7%.

I'm struggling to figure out how this makes sense as a part of the y combinator investment portfolio.

EDIT: The only plausible thing I can see Quora wanting that Y Combinator has is access to talent. Is this a recruiting move?

Quora would have to be having an extremely difficult time hiring for it to be a recruiting move. A Venn diagram of engineers or designers for whom Quora is more interesting when affiliated with Y Combinator, whom Quora would also want to hire, but who could not already join most other Y Combinator startups does not overlap.

Ya, I tend to agree with you, but without some sort of recruiting angle I'm left with nothing. Still scratching my head.

Help pivoting.
