What prevents them from selling the database of their paid users to the highest bidder?

  No clue. You’re going to have to ask https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=beyondd https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=beyondd I’m assuming that YC frowns on their funded companies doing unsavory things?

    As someone who applied to every YC company in my region, I find their funded companies do lots of unsavory things. I stopped buying from one because they were using deceptive marketing, and I stopped applying to one after the Glassdoor talked about the long hours and racist incidents. There's a kind of YC culture where they believe nice guys do well [1]. And they're likely biased towards funding nice people. But after they're funded, they don't really have any control over the company. [1] http://www.paulgraham.com/good.html http://www.paulgraham.com/good.html
