@paulg I'm questioning how close to death big successes actually got. So airbnb would stopped if another $10k on credit card? -
@timrpeterson Yes, I would say Airbnb got that close. -
@paulg wouldn't you or some friend have just given them 10k. I thought these guys were the cockroachiest of cockroaches. Who cares about 10k -
@timrpeterson We were the people who gave them money. I'm talking about the point just before YC. -

@timrpeterson@paulg if you speak with the early team at Google you'll hear them tell you similar stories -
