General Catalyst just co-led a $31.5 million seed round into a blatant rip-off of my company, Kled. (skip to 40 seconds if you want to skip context) I would typically not speak on things like this, but this level of blatant copycatting is egregious and completely unacceptable, and needs to be made an example of. This is one of hundreds of YC startups who have conducted this disgusting behavior. Unimaginative slop that continues to get rewarded due to nepotism.

@avipat_ @avipat_ You should sue them. Also, the moral/sociological frame I see here is less "AI clone leverages big VC money to crush creative original" than "big VC money picks horse to run with killer idea stolen from creative original." Always identify the prime mover and remove focus from the NPCs.
