2 Years, and 50 Million downloads later... Bump is back at YC (for the day)

Thanks to PG&E shutting off the electricity on our street, the Bump team has relocated to YCombinator's office for the day. For some of us, it's the first time in this room. However several people, especially the early Bump members, are feeling nostalgic being here today as many spent their first days at Bump coming in and out of this building for meetings and office hours with Paul Graham. The room is all a-buzz reminiscing about the early days and reflecting on how the app has evolved over the last 2 years. In fact, it's been exactly 2 years since Dave, Andy and Jake presented Bump in it's early stages to their YC class, investors and advisors during YC's Demo Day. It's funny to watch the first video they used for the presentation and see what we thought was impressive then, and compare it to where the app stands today. I asked Dave what his favorite part about the last 2 years and he said this:

"Building the team. When we started YC, it was just Andy, Jake, and me. We hired our first two people during that summer, but now we have about 30 super dedicated people working on all aspects of Bump. I remember a specific moment in early 2010, when I looked up from my laptop and saw the then 10 people all working on Bump. It's an amazing feeling to see a great team all working together on an idea that popped into your head one day; to be honest, I got a little emotional in that moment :)"

So thanks, YC, for helping make this all possible!
