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.

世界就是一个草台班子。越早领会,就越早对各种机构名衔祛魅 The world is a circus held together with smoke and mirrors. The sooner you figure this out, the sooner you'll stop being impressed by fancy institutions and titles
