Pickle, another yc backed startup, is also acting really fishy. They claimed they developed a standalone AR device, took money from customers, and now they're saying it requires tethering to your phone. https://x.com/cixliv/status/2008129653467492631 https://x.com/cixliv/status/2008129653467492631
- throw-12-16 9mo agoDon't forget about Honey! YC is full of scams.
- colinbartlett 9mo agoThey do back a lot of companies. Is there any evidence that they are pushing unethical or illegal business practices on their portfolio companies at a rate higher than non-YC start ups?
- uoaei 9mo agoWhy do you require comparison in order to determine whether or not this practice is unethical?
- beatslop 9mo agoThat's not at all what he said.
- financetechbro 9mo agoThey don’t have to say anything. The market speaks for itself: do illegal stuff, don’t get caught, capture enough market share of whatever it is you are pursuing, and you will be rewarded handsomely by investors. The name of the game is capital return at whatever cost necessary. We will be living through the repercussions of this system for decades
