YC founders are told to review these guidelines before we accept the investment.
From the ethics page:
> To maintain our community, if a founder behaves unethically during or after YC, we will revoke their YC founder status.
- singron 7y agoHas this ever affected anything before? Just about every organization has "we are ethical" in some document somewhere. "We always comply with local regulations" is often spouted by companies immediately after being busted for breaking regulations.
- lightedman 7y agoSo, what about making the company return that venture funding money to boot? I can think of several YC-funded companies pretty much raping our privacy and YC does nothing to fix that.
