  YC and Delve have parted ways. I still remember the day we took our YC interview at MIT. We're so grateful to the community and every founder friend we've made. We'll continue to support every young founder striving to make the world a better place. [image]

  There's been a lot of allegations against Delve. But we haven't been able to share our side of the story until today due to ongoing cybersecurity and forensics investigations. Maintaining customer trust is central to everything we do. That said, we grew too fast and fell short [v…

  You can draw a straight line between the increasing number of scam companies coming out of YC with Garry Tan thinking 37k LOC a day is good. Once the best incubator in the world it now has: * No sense of if a claim is viable or not * No technical acumen to evaluate claims * A

  @aegucer Here I am still wondering why there is no *public* message from YC on Delve. I don't know of any company being kicked out of YC years later, after their Series A. In fact I think it's the first? (There's a reason I dont reference messages not meant for the public)

• @yrechtman Yoni Rechtman on x

  Quietly removing Delve from the directory without taking a public stance is the worse of all possible options. Not sure who this is for or what message it's meant to send.

  When crisis hits, your lawyers will tell you to stay quiet until the investigation is complete And it is VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU DON'T LISTEN TO THEM Investigations take forever and by the time they're done your company could be DOA Lawyers are doing their job in minimizing

  They literally got removed from the YC website. This never happens. You are never coming back.

• @dvassallo Daniel Vassallo on x

  Maybe the Delve founders are genuine psychopaths. Maybe they set out to defraud people from day one. But they're 21. Both of them. Basically kids. More likely: they got into YC, got surrounded by people telling them to move fast and break things, grow at all costs, fake it till

  I want to know which companies are choosing to stay with Delve to get re-audited. Might just email every customer from the leak today to ask.

  Please don't ever publicly say that you're going to “Email every customer from the leak” how to get fined / in court 101 [image]

  The question on the $32M seed answered: Delve won't return what remains Source: CEO saying “we are not going anywhere and committed to building what's next” - aka they want to pivot. To be honest this part is only a problem for the investors, if even

  I'm sure there are more but the last time I can think of off the top of my head is when they kicked out Gab founder @BasedTorba https://news.ycombinator.com/ ... [image]

  So... have we just accepted that fraud is how Silicon Valley operates now? Medvi, Delve, Mercor, Cluely - and that's just in the past couple weeks

  Here's what Garry Tan had to say about the Delve situation on Bookface. This is the whole message. [image]

• @aegucer Emre on x

  Whoever leaked this does not know the rules of Bookface. There is a reason why Garry posted this on Bookface and not on X.

• @gergelyorosz Gergely Orosz on x

  Delve got kicked out of YC: likely after more details emerged that they likely stole the IP of a fellow Y Combinator company (SimStudio) and ripped off another (Oneleet) I still think Y Combinator should say something in public on why they kicked them out. Silence == speculation
