Calling these the “biggest” failures is an interesting viewpoint.
These were all companies with some P/M fit that just didn’t cross the threshold for whatever reason (barring the one fraud).
That’s especially true when the list of YC startups that never even reached P/M fit is probably in the hundreds by now.

- smt88 3y agoIt seems to mean "companies that failed after raising the most money" rather than "companies whose failures were the most extreme".
- RC_ITR 3y agoSure, which I would argue is the failure of YC follow-on investors.
