Our agents, backend systems, and infrastructure are all written in Go (it's awesome). We are ramping up to handle a jaw-dropping amount of incoming data. Data storage involves MySQL and other technologies in a fault-tolerant, distributed environment.
Operations and System Administration
We’re hosted in Amazon AWS and looking for people who do developer and sysops types of work — writing some server software, setting up some machines, whipping up some Ansible code, and so on.
Front End Development
The web app is backed by a small amount of PHP and Symfony2, and fronted by Angular and D3.js, CSS (Less), and HTML5. There’s a lot of API interaction from JavaScript, and a complex single-page user interface with rich data visualization that’s key for making our customers rave about the experience, not just the technology. We need people who can work in Angular, D3, design, styling, and so forth.

Looks great! You are making a big assumption with linear, fixed COGS scaling. I will probably use this, as it's a great document, but I'm going to add some more flexibility for COGS line items.
Does this give YC an ability to set a lower cap because it has reduced the investor upside in a forced conversion?
If I were an entrepreneur, would I continue to raise multiple safe rounds and keep pushing the cap on the safe up? That would make the most financial sense to me as an entrepreneur. I'm not sure investors would want that, but it creates a large incentive for the entrepreneur.
Why is a forced conversion bad? I always thought a timeline was a good incentive to create value for investors, and to optimize around timing your fundraise with your cap amount.
How do you compensate investors for time value money if the deal takes a long time to get to the next round when there is no forced conversion or accrued component?

Seriously, if you have a lawyer that needs to scam you out of your cash, then you have the wrong lawyer. Go hire a professional. Good lawyers are really busy and don't need to lie to you to make money.
