Frankly I don't care what their plan was if they "planned" to spend ~350M in 2 years while making 10-40M in annual revenue while getting sued by their largest customer. That is an absolutely insane level of spending. Just because you had a plan to do some unsustainable and irresponsible crap doesn't absolve you of responsibility when it turns out to be unsustainable and irresponsible.

You really think that Bolt, and Bolt's ex-CEO, saw a letter from YC, and thought "Oh ya, let's definitely doing what YC said. YC definitely knows what they're talking about. I personally trust all of their decisions and statements."?
