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_ “they copied us” is one of the oldest stories in tech and it'll get worse. I asked Eversaid to create a playlist of founders and VCs talking about copying, moats and why some companies still win anyway. https://t.co/HOtJWG41IO @alfredlin @pmarca @bhorowitz @garrytan @gokulr https://t.co/BE8z1BLk2N
