Some examples of ethical behavior we expect from founders are:
* Not using misleading, illegal or dishonest sales tactics.
* Not harassing any YC community member, employees, or anyone else.
* Not behaving in a way that damages the reputation of his/her company or of YC.
* Generally behaving in an upstanding way.
Looking at Avi's background:
"Like at age 16 when my co-founder and I wrote
one of the first Facebook scripts to mass-invite
people on Facebook to events we threw. Or how while
at YCombinator I hacked prototype day (To PG’s
disapproval)"
I think YCombinator is starting to have issues with their filtering process.
> At first, I decided to just solicit them our deck and pitch but then I realized something: Tim Ferriss and Jason Calacanis almost definitely knew each other. So I spoof called Calacanis from Tim Ferris’ number.
I know PG looks upon a certain amount of "naughtiness"[1] as a potentially positive indicator, but it should be clear to anyone with an inkling of common sense that this is way over the line.
