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.

Super excited to colead @LuelCompanyAI’s $31.2M seed round. There are certain teams you meet where you know within 5 minutes that you want to partner with them Luel is one of those team. William and Inigo are incredibly ambitious founders who understand the human data bottleneck from the inside out. They've built Luel to create a scalable, reliable supply of that data — something that will be foundational to the next generation of AI.

@AmanKabeer11 is a legend to work with even if he makes some ridiculous arguments around why the AI ecosystem in NYC might one day catch up to SF

As the brown boy who said this, i stand by my comment

OH brown boy in the Bay Area: “I’ve scrolled back to 2021 and there’s no mention of ‘proud’ in my family chats”

@BoringBiz_ This doesn’t seem revolutionary for bankers given 90% of S1 drafting is tweaking boiler plate disclosures, risk factors, etc from the last S1 the bank drafted in the sector. It might not bode well for legal firm billable hours though!
English
Goldman Sachs CEO just said that 95% of an S1 (for an IPO) can now be completed by AI
If even half of this is true, I think we are underestimating just how many layoffs there will be on Wall Street as a result of AI

@the_transit_guy Classic cherry picking, ignores the bustling main street right across from Apple’s HQ to highlight the area where people buy cars 3 miles away or that Mountain View (Google HQ) and Menlo Park (Facebook HQ) are also part of Silicon Valley and have amazing suburban neighborhoods
English
Silicon Valley could’ve been one of the most unbelievable and prosperous places on the planet, but elected officials decided to listen to NIMBYs for decades, and this is what the commercial corridor where the world’s most valuable company is headquartered looks like:
Nate Silver@NateSilver538
People can comment on whatever they want but Silicon Valley is a bunch of suburbs. Like go live in a real city if you have a Take on NYC.

@LondonBreed With all due respect — with a $900 MILLION PER YEAR budget specifically dedicated towards homelessness and a total estimated population of 10K people to help — this isn’t enough progress.
That’s a spend of ~$90K per homeless person/yr
10x faster change is possible & demanded

@NotDakshBhatia your forgetting Caitlin Clark greeting jake from state farm post draft
English
When is the HBS case study on the “jingle-era” going to come out?
Highlights:
- State Farm initiates turnaround via “like a good neighbor”
- Burger King realizes it can take up 1% of consumer mindshare with “BKayyy”
- Wingstop & Google rinse & repeat
Ideally:
- FCC bans jingles

@johnsummit makes some good music to wake up and think about AI to

@itsmarkmoran @AmanKabeer11 I think there are AI companies we should go talk to in North Carolina right?

Always learning a ton from @AmanKabeer11. Great podcast episode even though he didn’t tell us the secret behind aligning a thousand logos
