Your article made my heart race; all the way through I was thinking "That's US"! Especially the "touch of insanity" part because we are selling our house and taking some pretty big leaps to make this thing happen.

We only learned about YCombinator about 2 weeks ago, within days of having decided to go "all in" but it's too great of an opportunity to pass up so we're scrambling to hit the app. deadline while getting the house on the market, planning next steps etc. But we are so energized everyday by the possibility of bringing our idea to life.

The Ron Conway quote was right on time for me -“real entrepreneurs aren’t thinking about exits; they’re thinking about changing the world”... I always feel a little nuts for being sad when people say things like "you'll probably sell to...for millions"... but from now on, I'll think about you, Ron Conway and changing the world and smile because clearly, I'm not the only one! Thanks a bunch for this post.
