thought i'd weigh in on this

obviously if you are an amazing engineer without a degree, of course come talk to us. arash, my cofounder and the slacker that he is, does not have his bachelor's degree :)

so hope you can give us the benefit of the doubt that we didn't intend to exclude qualified people



why ask for it then - esp if your co-founder doesn't have one yet you trust his skills enough to found a company together?

asks someone who barely has the UK equivalent of a high school graduation (because he was programming for his first startup at 16), no degree, and had a very successful engineering-orientated career so far
