YC partners might have an opinion and might offer advice but they're always going to support what the founders want to do—that's kind of the core principle of YC.

As for "other company in portfolio", that's unavoidable when funding thousands of startups and almost always turns out to be a non-issue.

Awesome, makes perfect sense. Thanks for the clarity @dang.

I'm curious now, if you can say. Was advice offered in this case? If so, what was it?

[dang]

I'm not part of such discussions so I'm afraid I have no idea!

People here think you _are_ YC. Little do they know you're far more perceptive and capable than YC.

[dang]

That's definitely not true, but thanks for the support :)

Truth is a spectrum. I will leave my opinions on YC unpublished. Thanks for all you do.
