Got into Y Combinator!

It was really hard to keep a secret, but in January we got into Y combinator and left the "bootstrapper" mode.

I have it on my backlog to write a detailed post about how we did it and what preparation we took. But overall I can say that having the "indie hacker spirit" really helped us to convise the partners we are a good fit to become a $1B company in a few years.
