In the YC application both names showed up. In the interview only one person was considered part of Cruise. This is corroborated by the blog post:
Kyle and Jeremy applied to YC together but Jeremy left before the YC interview
The interview should've been the moment to make sure that the matter was settled. Generally these legal situations don't just magically resolve themselves.
Either YC didn't notice the fact that only one person showed up and attended (which is extremely sloppy due diligence) OR YC didn't think this would be an issue (doubtful especially for veteran investors) OR Kyle lied to YC about the situation (plausible, but even so I would expect YC to demand paperwork demonstrating the matter was resolved)
- BinaryIdiot 11y agoFair enough I mostly meant with so many companies to meet with I wasn't entirely surprised but you're right they were made aware of this and it should have been topic #1 or #2 in their first meeting.
