One of the YC dinner speakers was a Googler - that's how it got started. Later on we approached him, gave a demo, and that is how the ball got rolling.
I also don't know for sure but I assume the YC partners helped talk us up to all the speakers - which couldn't have hurt.
And while we didn't not want our product to be bought by Google, it certainly wasn't the goal we set out with. We wanted to create a compelling product and make sure every week at YC dinners somebody asked "how did you do that?".
