View submission: reddit myth busters
Hey, thanks guys. I appreciate this push towards transparency.
Does anyone on this list also have holdings in any PR firms which are active on reddit? In particular, would Alexis be kind enough to dispel the rumors that he owns and operates a PR firm called "Nerd Labs" that takes on contracts on reddit. I don't believe these rumors, but I see them pop up time and again.
Alexis Ohanian, previously co-founded reddit
Craig Shapiro, also runs CollabFund, fan of reddit
Dave McClure, also runs an incubator 500Startups
Ellen Pao, previously at KPCB, now works at reddit
Jawed Karim, previously co-founder of YouTube
Jeremy Edberg, some guy
Josh Kushner, angel investor, Thrive Capital
Josh Schachter, previously founder of del.icio.us
Kanyi Maqubela, also runs CollabFund, fan of reddit
Keith Rabois, previously COO at Square, now at Khosla Ventures
Marc Andreessen, previously co-founder of Netscape, Opsware, now runs a16z
Paul Buchheit, previously made GMail and Friendfeed, now at YC
Hell yea, admins. Just go right ahead and downvote until you feel better.

Hey gatsby, you don't need to use a throwaway to keep asking this question.
NYRD[1] is a real thing (New York R&D, get it?), but Alexis asked us to let him do his own unveiling announcement sometime soon. It has nothing to do with PR or spamming though, but is another project of Alexis's that is unrelated to reddit — similar to how his other projects like Breadpig[2] have been unrelated to reddit.
Can we lay this to rest now?
