So it's a "scam" because they are promising something they can't deliver straight away? Isn't that basically a description of every startup company ever?

Sounds a lot like the "CEO" is a just sales rep for your company who did a great sales pitch to get you into YC, but who didn't even commit enough to the company to want to do it fulltime unless the person could get majority

I owe you an apology, you're correct, I was wrong. I can't pinpoint where my reasoning failed me exactly, but my confidence certainly was misplaced, and that's from someone who did do the simulation originally to understand t

I didn't state that it doesn't change your odds. Obviously going from 33% to 0% because the car isn't possible to win anymore will be a change of your odds. I stated it doesn't change anything, because in one situation y
