<p>Today was Y Combinator Demo Day. While Paul Graham-approved <em>crème de la crème </em>were inside, pitching their racing hearts out, Peter Sullivan <a href="http://instagram.com/p/Omjwtpxm_O/">was outside,</a> slapping fake tickets that proclaimed, "You have illegally been subjected to make a big investment decision based on a two-minute demo pitch" on the cars outside.</p>
<p>Mr. Sullivan is the CEO of the social travel startup <a href="http://tripl.com/">Tripl</a>, conveniently available for download via a QR code on the ticket.</p>
<p>We can only hope for Mr. Sullivan's sake that Silicon Valley investors pay more attention to pesky parking tickets than many a wealthy driver.</p>
