Ilya Lichtenstein (YC S11) is the co-founder of YC-backed MixRank. Heather Morgan, his wife, is apparently a serial entrepreneur, investor, and "contributor" to Forbes.

If they played by the rules they'd have been living large as part of the .001% of the world. They bought themselves a giant lead brick and chained themselves to it. It'd be sad if it weren't so stereotypically comical.

- mritchie712 5y agoHer delivery reminds me of a CEO being forced by their HR department to "do a rap" in the 2000's to "relate" to their employees.

- vmception 5y agoHow about the 2010s! A VC firm had a tradition of making all their portfolio companies participate in an annual rap and dance. I think I had to participate in an Gangnam style rendition. Probably not that hard to find, with that information.
- astrange 5y agoRecord companies are just VC firms who make their whole portfolio sing and dance.
- dehrmann 5y agoOne YC place I worked actually had a CEO who freestyle rapped as a hobby.
- tetsusaiga 5y agoThe Gangnam style half wasn't so bad, actually, and it's fun to imagine which character you were.
- raydev 5y agoI got strong "Just 2 Guyz" vibes from it (which was intentionally funny): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nt2OVAgkHBc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nt2OVAgkHBc

- beebmam 5y agoThis is absolutely incredible. Wow.
- stjohnswarts 5y agoThat is truly awful, I couldn't take more than 20 seconds of it. I couldn't say I would do better but I have no delusions about being a rapper either.

- elkos 5y agoFor those unfamiliar with Forbes as a platform, forms allows for independent unpaind (by Forbes) writers to submit content on their platform. If you see a scummy crowdfunding campaign or shady start up claiming "as featured in Forbes,etc etc" that's how they do it.
