    Why does Y Combinator invest with a Most Favored Nation clause?

    @gracefulsongonfire Neo does not get anywhere near 25k applications per cycle lol. Sequoia Arc, a16z is just a different name for their usual investment strategy of 10-15 seed deals a year - they just call it an accelerator but it’s just the usual seed investment process.

    OpenAI is out for all wrappers - I said it, now it's happened

    @birch meh, you act like it’s zero sum and that startups don’t evolve. that’s why you invest in founders who can build and launch, fast. on to the next. https://preview.redd.it/bgxjfjcs3yyb1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cc10fb0a4e9a7b5f0c513bf1c6a0a80b2249b439

    Follow up: 86% of S23 is based in the Bay Area

    @zedrick Awesome work. I think too often founders lose sight of the forest for the trees. The primary goal is to build a successful business first and foremost, not appeal to investors. Would love if you’d share what you’re building and what’s your background? Totally understand if you don’t...

    Anyone know why YC/Garry Tan/ Paul Graham decided to side line Alexis Ohanian (co-founder of reddit)?

    @pmsh Yeah, very curious if we’ll ever find out. They seemed so bro-y with one another before. Must be juicy for this kind of 180. I don’t buy this explanation from Initialized at all lol...

    Anyone know why YC/Garry Tan/ Paul Graham decided to side line Alexis Ohanian (co-founder of reddit)?

    @pmsh I did. The beef seems to be between Initialized/Garry and Alexis, but doesn’t seem Alexis has any beef with YC. He’s been pretty positive about YC and PG as far as I can tell. He’s been sharing a bunch of old emails and advice from PG today.

    @pmsh Dunno about Initialized but YC and PG definitely acknowledge Alexis: https://www.ycombinator.com/blog/the-reddits Their Twitter feed has been pushing Reddit stuff and some Alexis stuff all day yesterday

    San Francisco Unsafe for YC founders

    @pmsh YC doesn’t say SF. They say Bay Area. Been in the bay my entire life, and the rest of the place, with a few exceptions, is top notch.
