Here's a comment thread from the deleted post that does a pretty decent job in summarizing why these investments are so poor.
Also - keep in mind this was 4 days before OpenAI decimated all AI wrapper startups.
Anyone from YC have anything to say around this? Or why the post was scrubbed? Or why this one will likely be scrubbed as well?
Also - just to clarify for everyone here - I don't have a horse in this race. I'm not a founder. But I do believe YC (for better or for worse), as the premier seed accelerator, sets the trajectory and direction for investment further down the funnel.
And they're compromising the integrity of American innovation with an arrogant and wasteful deployment of capital towards get rich quick schemes that everyone told them wouldn't be viable long-term.
So I'm back to tell you - these AI wrappers are not viable companies. Stop this craziness.
