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_ What does "we really busted it up" on the design on the home page actually mean?
IMO, It looks like every single data broker, ever.
Given you're backed by VC funding, I'd be willing to bet the exact same VCs likely back the other company too. 🤷♂️

Hype up my VC backed data broker.
Whinge in public.

Do not let it back fire. https://t.co/I2qdh5kqhg
