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.

@PaulYacoubian @avipat_ This take is extremely wrong and harmful to a generation of young entrepreneurs

FYI this kind of human data saturates very, very quickly.
Anyone who's been to India or the global south has thought about this kind of stuff before.
What do you think Scale has been doing for the past decade?
