The last few weeks (months, really) has highlighted an incredible lack of discernment in the VC-verse wrt the thing we call web3. Now. I have no experience doing what YC does and don’t claim to, but the jig here was so transparent that the smallest drop of “street smart” should’ve been enough to set off some alarms.

We’re approaching a point where being passed over for “culture fit” is a compliment. Hopefully the embarrassment is enough to expand the founder vetting checkboxes.

VCs mostly fund crypto to make incredible amounts of money by pumping and dumping on retail. Take Solana as an example. 40% of their initial supply was allocated to insiders. Giving those VCs and founders the ability to dump on retail. It’s truly abhorrent behavior [1]
