This is such a non-product. Look at those publicity shots, everything about this company screams, look at me, we're a startup! The donations to Africa, in hour delivery, the model-level attractive female founder. This is a bad idea. It doesn't seem like it was tested at all.
Even if I'm wrong and they take off, condom delivery as a service isn't much of a service in itself. Anyone of the multiple alcohol delivery services would just add this as an item. How do people like this make it into Y-Combinator? Are the VCs trying to get laid? Or is this one of those uncomfortable risks that they keep talking about? Either way, I expect this to run out of runway soon or pivot to something completely different. The founder is a photo-journalist so I don't expect much.
- afarrell 11y agoHey, I've known highly attractive women who were also really smart and fantastic at execution, so I wouldn't include that part in your list. It is a possibility that she is being used as a showpiece, but that would make for a pretty dysfunctional team and isn't the sort of thing you'd presume. Your other critique about them not having a moat to defend against alcohol delivery services is true though, at least if they don't have some actual materials science behind their product.
