Yahia Bakour(@mynameisyahia):Landed 2 new customers in the most YC way possible Yesterday a YC alum DM’d me asking how to solve a few problems that were going to cost him $200K/year with another provider (in a semi related space) I had YC kickoff all day, so we met at 10PM at Hogpatch (YC coworking space) By midnight, he became a customer because he needed Context’s infra to build his own solution and save a ridiculous amount of money Then I kept working till 2AM and saw a group of guys in my batch nearby brainstorming growth ideas They asked for my opinion, so I shared a few things I’ve done that worked One of the ideas involved a ton of web extraction The next day, they subscribed too Turns out being a semi-decent person pays
