Why the fuck is a 3yo YC rejection occupying any space in a unicorn founder’s head? Makes zero sense.
The only explanation is that he’s (a) emotional or (b) kinda retarded.
Given the leaks from the last few months showing what a dumpster fire Mercor is, I’d say both.

They passed because a previous recruiting startup didn't work out. These days, YC seems more focused on funding clones of fast-growing companies than making contrarian bets.
What's the largest company YC has invested in over the last 3 years? The hit rate seems surprisingly low.
