It feels bad to pile on to @onepeloton when the company is struggling, but these new terms are awful! You have to agree to them to use the service, and by doing so you must agree to be spammed AND you can only opt out by contacting customer service. Oh joy.

Congrats to @usenash - the first recipient of the new Ron Conway Economic Empowerment award. @RonConway (Ronco!) is an old friend and an extraordinary investor and person. Love this effort with both @bchesky and @mwseibel helping support YC founders.

Eleven years ago, @imaginek12's first cohort included two Brits with a pretty weak idea. They quickly pivoted and just look at them now: . Congrats @liamdon and @samchaudhary_.

Often, the most important advice we give @ycombinator isn't, strictly speaking, advice. Rather it is an injection of deep belief in your business and your future. @paulg is the best in the world at this.

Some founders seem more like YC founders even though they aren't, and the Varanasi brothers (@acv and Sunil) are epic. I suspect their startup @meter is going to be as well.

Meter, founded by two brothers, has a new way to get workplaces online as well as some noteworthy backers.
