Per the tweet replies, Paul Biggar's company that YC funded has been defunct, so that likely makes YC's calculus to remove him easier (optics aside).

- YuriNiyazov 5y agoThis is the part that I don't understand. CircleCI is alive and well last time I checked.
- minimaxir 5y agoApparently it was a startup wayyyyy back in 2010, before CircleCI: https://techcrunch.com/2010/04/12/ycs-newstilt-aims-to-help-journalists-create-a-business-model-for-content/ https://techcrunch.com/2010/04/12/ycs-newstilt-aims-to-help-...
- dang 5y agoFWIW I don't think that would much affect the decision. In past similar cases, where the startup wasn't defunct, YC has divested. I've never been part of any such decision, but I do know YC and the people who have to make such decisions, and from what I've seen they'd be reasoning from first principles or at least trying to.
