[argumentum]

This reads like a hit piece on "YC Startups". I'm not saying it was intended to be so, but it sounds like one. Why?

  1. Where is the evidence that any of this is true?
  2. You could have named the company in question and given them a chance to respond.. 
  3. Instead your claim aims to hurt the reputation of hundreds of YC startups.

Of course YC startups could fail, whether in raising money or making something people who want. ANY startup could fail. A YC startup may be less likely to fail, but YC doesn't ensure success .. for that matter neither does being a post series-a (webvan, color labs etc) or even being a public company (zynga for example).
