YC doesn’t care about the long term value of the companies it invest in. All VC companies want to extract the maximum value out of the company before they get sold to the bigger fool - either acquisitions or an IPO.
- golergka 1y agoThat's not the thesis I'm arguing with. You were talking about relationship with employees. Now you're talking about relationship with later stage investors. I am not a later stage investor, I have no knowledge about and no horse in this race.
