What exactly are you guys looking for? A techie to help during due diligence without all the fuss from pathetic agencies like PWC, or someone to find opportunities out there? Or both?
We're looking for someone who wants to learn the venture business and actually practice the craft for a long time. This is a full-time long-term investor role. We just have an affinity for builder types that have themselves been in the trenches and shipped product prior to investing.

We’ve known Qasar since PG first introduced us to him during our YC summer 2011 batch. Qasar had just sold Talkbin to Google.
Though it wasn’t stated outright from the start, I believe we were used as guinea pigs to test Qasar’s potential as a future target for the YC partnership. We must’ve been one of the first such companies, though there were likely other guinea pigs in our batch as well.
Qasar’s sincere, direct, no-BS attitude blew us away from the start, and we came to understand that he genuinely wanted us to succeed. We had strategy sessions on Castro Street in Mountain View, at Qasar’s own house, and even at Google lunch when scheduling was tight.
Having provided seriously powerful insights and introductions that helped get us off the ground back then, Qasar continues to be supportive through all phases to this day - rain or shine.
I’m proud to call Qasar an advisor and couldn’t be more excited to congratulate him on becoming YC partner.
