saifaon Ask HN: Dress for interview with an Incubator/VC firm?

If i could come to YC or other VCs interview, i would wear a t-shirt with my startup/idea identity. Would it be silly?

Novosibirsk is city of smart people. Best regards! I'm agree about Russia ecosystem. You are right! Milner is a hero for me, really! He does business in both ends: russian and western internet.

I used to try to do some projects in russian internet. 2 years ago built http://www.moivizitki.ru (social business networking), a big Moscow based web company wanted to buy it (mostly hire us), but i decided to spend my life to build own startup (you can find job any way if needed). Built several e-com affiliate projects for english speaking world. Now my friend and i apply to YC.

I wonder if any person from post Soviet Union was excepted to YC (I don't say even a team, at list person :).

This time the application is way better! YC is improving in application big time. There are still same questions (that is great), but some hard questions are taken away. I also like the idea of video. We know Paul and Jessica and all crew in face, but now they can see us too (heh). Maybe that would be great to upload picture of funders too and stick it to application. But that is up to YC :-)

About previous ideas: 1) 3 years ago it was a business networking website. Where people could exchange, hold business cards.

2) Second idea was booking appointment calendar for doctors, layers and personal trainers...kinda electronic appointment secretary...
