uninformed prediction: "pg called us to correct their mistake, we got an interview and we're in" by the end of next week, though you might be asked not to talk about it in public. meanwhile, nothing will come of the "acquisition" talks.

uninformed speculation: this is the hope of the author of this post. and intention behind this post.

But too hard to say if this is realistic, without nothing about the product or founders.

Wow ... HN is too cynical some days.

very true. i wish i could reveal a lot more. at least my product and what i'm going for and have the yc community tell me their honest opinion.

founders on the other hand - from the tech end nothing extraordinary but solid. on the business end, pretty top-notch caliber (i.e. 99 percentile in their respective fields).

Awesome. Wish you the best of luck, regardless of what happens. Wasn't trying to be cynical - apologies if my comment was interpreted that way.

Thanks lbr. I got a chuckle out of your comment so didn't take any offense to it whatsoever! I'm pretty sure PG is too busy to care about a potential oversight of an interview based on some off-chance strategic acquisition happening, but we can all dream about it : )

[man_bear_pig]

haha. i wish he would! if i got into YC, i would definitely not care about the large player as much and play hardball with them instead of the other way around : (

maybe this way you'll get some attention; but that too is an oversimplification ;). goodluck!!!
