@sama Because they work in-house (on salary?), are they able to provide support to YC clients at lower cost than external legal pros? -

I'm curious, did YC hire them because they were that good, or did they get that good because they get so much experience at YC?

Some of each, but mostly the former.

Interesting! I was almost sure you'd give a lot of credit to the number of startups which go through YC these days.
