Most who decide it's not worth it would (or rather, should) do so ahead of time. I see.
Still, give a free car to a hundred people and at least one will complain about the color of the interior. There's gotta be a sour YC alumnni out there somewhere.
Even if he has no right blaming YC, I'd still like to hear his side of the story.
- pbiggar 16y agoFWIW, I failed at YC (in that my company failed after doing YC). Here's my account: http://blog.paulbiggar.com/archive/why-we-shut-newstilt-down/ http://blog.paulbiggar.com/archive/why-we-shut-newstilt-down.... The relevant YC part: > YC had consulted and advised us every step of the way. When we had co-founder problems, they gracefully refused to take sides. When we wanted to make a new product, they advised us not to proceed without co-founders, and that we’d need to move to Silicon Valley to be fair to those co-founders. And finally, they didn’t expect a cent back, telling us to give all the money back to our later investors. Not once in my whole time at YC did I believe that they valued their investment more than they valued us, and they were OK with us closing down. YC is a class act.
