Paul,
Were they accepted the first time they applied?

Yes. IIRC they got a really good recommendation from the Justin.TV founders. Then once we met them we were sold too.

Paul, have any other teams been accepted to YC with the AirBNB team composition of 2 non-tech/1 tech founders? It makes sense in their case in that it is more of a social engineering than tech challenge, but it is an interesting case.

Yes. As long as there are people who can do each thing that needs to be done, we don't care what the ratio is.
