- dariusmonsef 16y agoJust my thoughts... I think a lot of the people that have a bad experience did so by their own actions. A lot of people flame out during YC... but that it's because of founder issues, personal issues, legal problems... etc. They just quietly go away.
- chewb 16y agoLikewise, a lot of the greater YC success stories did it mostly by their own actions.
- ig1 16y agoDoesn't seem to have stopped people criticizing VC firms.
- neworbit 16y agoVCs are a dime a dozen. YC is a network.
- ig1 16y agoYou think there's a dozen Sequoias or DFJs ?
- jackowayed 16y agoHave there been any "Sequoia invested in me and totally fucked me over" posts? I'd guess there have been very few if any.
- ig1 16y agoSomeone hasn't seen the Facebook movie then :-) My understanding is that the relationship depicted between Sean Parker/Sequoia in the film is pretty close to the reality.
