Does anyone know the full background story on this? Every time I hear the story, it was mostly Alexis and Steve including the retelling of how they pitched PG. Where did Aaron fit in and how does that story go?
He founded Infogami. The company was very ambitious but sadly went nowhere. He also authored web.py, a python web framework. Meanwhile Reddit switched from using Lisp to web.py. PG wanted to help Aaron out, so he suggested having him join Reddit. Reddit sold for a few million dollars shortly after. Aaron cashed in along with the founders for an undisclosed, but substantial, amount of money.
