I was taken off the list too, but I left voluntarily, and without drama(purposefully). It was the right decision for me. The friendships I made at YC are still awesome.
You might have just burned a potential bridge needlessly.
I read this article and saw too many inaccuracies, felt a little angry, and then let it go. I strongly advise proof checking your writing in the future.
- lowglow 13y agoI left on my own volition. Founder problems are the rule, not the exception. I'm still friends with quite a number of my batch mates. Can you point out the inaccuracies? Because to me, these were my experiences. Shed some light. :)
- danielpal 13y agoI think the biggest issue is the huge oversimplification of YC. If I were to eat sushi at Jiro ('jiro dreams of sushi') and I said: Couldn't eat at Jiro's, heres what you're missing: *You sit at the bar and an old guy serves you raw fish.* It wouldn't be inaccurate, but it would be a gross oversimplification of what it involves and the effort put by Jiro beforehand. I too was part of YC and I don't think your articles captures the essence of YC even in a small way.
- lowglow 13y agoI wasn't trying to capture every aspect of YC. The article wasn't about diminishing YC. Just trying to keep things positive and help people keep building. :)
