Wonder why people place so much trust and value just because two guys with a one trick pony got into YC.

I just love hearing "We are a YC backed startup". First thing they tell me. Okay? You want a cookie now? What the hell? It's fucking meaningless, it actually tells me you don't know what you are doing, and that I should be divesting.

At the end of the day, if it's still a one trick pony, add any two random capital LETTERS, still won't save a startup, because it can fail for so many reason.



Consider applying for YC's Summer 2026 batch! Applications are open till May 4
