Agreed, especially about truthfulness

What about Parker Conrad cutting corners, then getting funded again and producing one of YC's biggest success stories?

Smh most definitely. I worked with a start up founder who I later realized lied through his teeth and had the whole team confused about so many things. Didn't pay anyone for their work, was a snob, full of himself, and put everyone down around him. Later after quitting I realized he was apart of a $14M money laundering scheme.

I cut all contact from the guy sense.

Im not gonna lie, talking about having done unethical things while a question in the application is what you hacked outside of a computer system is ... interesting.🙈

Every time I watch one of your shorts, the first thing I do is turn off YouTubes subtitles. Just fyi, I don’t need them on the screen two times

Yeah. That’s truth. I’ve applied for YC some years ago and said on the application that I had 500 active users and a good revenue, all a lie.

I was able to get in but when they figured out about it, I was banned and can’t join YC anymore.

Don’t do it guys, follow my advice and be honest lol

I don't know what I don't know, is not the same as saying you don't know what you don't know.

That’s funny how YC focuses on own marketing more than checking applications. Our application for a SaaS with 500+ active users was rejected with a generic message and as per our logs, they have never attempted to sign in with an account provided for the demo as part of the application.

Keep it up, @YCombinator

Is it unethical to sleep in a storage unit to save money for funding my startup ?

If they tell you that you will get a lot to learn over here and we dont have much cash to pay you.
