  So the answer is not that much - as long as it doesn't damage the image of YC it's okay.

    And the points listed seemed to be about maintaining productive working relationships among colleagues - not ethics. Funny choice of topic for an ethics page.

    I don't think that's a fair assessment (I'm not affiliated with YC in any way). I think that: > Not using misleading, illegal or dishonest sales tactics. > Keeping your word... and: > Generally behaving in a professional and upstanding way. cover more ground than you imply. While it might not hurt for them to take a few more stands (e.g., "ensure the integrity of customer data", "don't be a net drain on public resources"), I think it would be a bit difficult to add a lot more ethical requirements without getting overly industry-specific and excessively lengthy.
