As a fellow YC and UMD grad, I've known Aaron for some time and my initial thought was "why did this take so long?" The obvious answer is probably that he is still full time w/ Creative Market @ Autodesk and this visiting partner role is new.
> Kevin Hale, was the founder and CEO of Wufoo (YC W06), which was acquired by SurveyMonkey in 2011. He spent three years as a YC partner and is now going part-time so he can start his next company. Kevin graduated from Stetson University with a BA in Digital Arts and English.
Wow - excited to hear that Kevin Hale is starting a new company!
Interesting how even at YC, university degrees are a huge part of someone's credentials. Everyone's description was 2/3 experience as founders, 1/3 university degrees.
Congrats! Really excited for this.
