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.

My knee jerk reaction to the discourse around this was "cmon man worry about your own startup" but then I watched the video and realized how much SF is starting to look like CT. Yet another data point of the slop problem spreading to the rest of the world and how important reputation tools are. In this case for VCs, accelerators and startups. Have some ideas for a product that can help.
