I think this is both an indictment of "squirrel" syndrome (the dog from Up), and YC not choosing well in the first place. maybe that's the environment there, but I would guess if you brought in a new team with an idea, gave them money for that idea and then they went and dumped the idea right off and went to something new and shinier, they shouldn't have been funded in the first place?

And with two previously abandoned businesses in his past, someone should have asked about commitment to the idea. Sure you can work on something you don't love, but then its a job not a career or a self focused business, not something worth others investing in without a really clear business plan and exit strategy.
