YC gives you a very modest amount of cash, thanks to the risks involved. It’s not really anything that should go to your head - if it does, that’s a red flag and something to be actively addressed because you’ll be dealing with larger amounts later on (if you’re lucky). This founder is from a LCOL country so the equation may be a bit different.

Furthermore, even if YC valuation were sky high (which it isn’t), it’s not synonymous with success in any way - it’s not even an indicator. You know what is an indicator, though? How well the cofounders get along.

If this is happening more than one thinks, wouldn't the people at YC be trained to pick up on these signals?
