?? Why not? If you can make money and help good people, what's the X-factor? Obviously I like investing in products, but I see it more as a way to keep utilization high without busywork.

Given, YC might not like it, but I bet they like the business going under a lot less.

I mean, if that's what you want to do, by all means. I'm not going to tell you how to live your life.

But it's not a startup.

You would be wrong. They would much rather see you shut down a company that fails to find traction and come up with a new idea and new team and get fresh funding than they would you tying yourself up for 10+ years in what they would term a lifestyle business. They didn't give you that money to sit on, they gave it to you to change the world.
