If it is, bad look for YC: obviously they did not think it was apparent, and they should be the experts.

- cm2012 4y agoYC took a risk with a new division and then closed it when it didn't work. That's not a "bad look" at all.
- roflyear 4y agoIt's a bad look if it's "obviously why it didn't work"
- xyzelement 4y agoTo be clear, my grandparent post is about how the two domains are obviously different. That's not the same as "obviously wouldn't work out"
- ip26 4y agoIf you fail to do something hard, it’s easy to guess why; it was hard. But that doesn’t impute it was foolish to try.
- xyzelement 4y agoThese are two separate topics. The things are obviously different. Why YC thought they might be synergic and where that went wrong is a separate question. I have no idea.
- rosywoozlechan 4y ago> bad look for YC I guess don't apply to them for seed funding for your next big idea if you don't like the way it makes them look.
- roflyear 4y agoI wouldn't! They take too much of an ownership %.
