I think the YC startup is almost certainly SketchDeck.
It's not too difficult to find the OP's real life identity based on his past work. From that, the information on http://angel.co/ http://angel.co/ pretty much gives it away.
- angersock 12y agoSo, the unfortunate thing now is that if it isn't SketchDeck, they're going to have some nasty PR shit to clean up that is totally undeserved. If it is, well, they still need to do cleanup. OP, can you confirm/deny?
- dennisgorelik 12y agoI think you overestimate the significance of this discussion. Besides, there advertisement rarely have negative effect. I wish my startup was mistakenly confused as a place that fired OP.
- angersock 12y agoWhat's your startup? Might as well link it here. :)
- andrea_s 12y agoI had never heard of SketchDeck - I don't want to derail, but I'm genuinely interested in understanding their business model. Specifically, it looks like a linearly scalable enterprise (consulting-like: they provide custom design on demand). How is this appealing for an investor? I'm not deeply involved in the mechanics of looking for funding, but I thought investors kind of shunned consulting startups.
- gone35 12y agoAt least the timing and job description sort of match, but it's far from definite so who knows [1,2]: SketchDeck (YC W14) is hiring its first employee (sketch-deck.com) - 70 days ago We're now looking for our first employee. (...) You are going to run SketchDeck day-to-day whilst masterminding our scale to become the biggest design agency in the world.
