I'm Jared, I work at Y Combinator. We're going to be talking and writing about how we use data at YC, and I'd like to get the community's feedback on what would be most interesting. For example, some topics we're considering are:

- What data you should have before applying to YC

- How YC uses data to help evaluate applications

- What mistakes we've seen early stage startups make with data

We'll be hosting a talk on this and then writing a blog post to follow.

due to unexpected vacations (thanks German bureaucracy), I will be free from tomorrow until the 22nd.

I am an amateur programmer. I work in Finance. I know python, a bit of clojure, and I find C quite cool.
