Why is this a Tell HN? I thought those were for providing information of general utility to the HN community (twitter is down, etc.). I expected this was a name-and-shame of some VC, but instead it's a link to a blog post.
Even after reading the text in the Tell HN multiple times, I still don't know what exactly happened. IMO, a Tell HN should be a self-contained post that actually tells HNers something that is particularly timely and of general relevance. It should not be akin to "read my blog post about something that happened to my startup".
This seems like clickbait, especially with the title.
- xwowsersx 4y agoI have to agree with this. I empathize with the desire to share, especially when you're in the dumps. I've been through the experience of VCs ditching at the closing table (worse than OP's situation) and it's brutal, but I didn't feel that in itself was worthy of sharing with the HN community. There are other, more appropriately forums for the cathartic experience OP is hoping to have by sharing with others. As you say, it'd be one thing if there was something generally useful or relevant here, but I'm just not seeing it.
