Yep! Restart Fund is actually partially a product of our pivot. We basically weren't getting anywhere with micropayments, and we weren't sure where to go next. We got approached by a few big companies about talent acquisitions, but we knew we really wanted to be working on something early-stage with a lot of opportunity for growth. So hopefully if anyone else is in a similar position, Restart Fund could be another option to consider.

Hey everyone, I'm the co-founder of Twice. Just wanted to add my 2 cents too.

- @jboggan, agreed. YC knows how to pick em.

- We're only planning on one acquisition for now.

- Yep, it's a mix of cash and equity -- we haven't quite finalized all the details -- and everything will vest (as is standard), but you'll at least be able to buy a car on day one.

- The equity is valued based on our Series A valuation, which, unfortunately, was substantially less than $100 trillion :-)

- It's definitely an expensive proposition for us, but awesome people make awesome companies, so we think it's worth it.

Yeah, that's not how the NYT rolls. We got around the paywall pretty easily -- getting around the legal wall though... It's a shame, because we really want to work with partners to help them build their businesses. In due time! :-)

Thanks for the interest! Minno is our main project, and TorrentTraveler is just a quick hack that we put together to try Minno out. We'll be working with other developers to roll out more sites over the next few months. If you have any other questions ping me at noah [at] minno.co.

Many thanks! I'm using it now.
