> Aaron is an insider. He belongs to the club.

How is he an insider? Because he went to Princeton? Is he related somehow to Larry, Serge, Bill, or one of the Steves?

I would like to know this as well. He is clearly an insider NOW. I would imagine few successful entrepreneurs start out this way.

He did make it look easy. It's like he said "Well, you just ask for 100k, get it, build some stuff, get more money and then..."

I think one thing that got him inside was the execution. Mint is just cool to use. If I was an investor, I'd try the site and just say "Hey, this is really cool to use. And useful. And in a lucrative niche." Then I'd write a check.
