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.

The participation of big-name Silicon Valley VC in some obvious financial frauds is really disappointing to me.

I guess that's no worse than Tim Draper of DFJ continuing to defend Theranos even after it was exposed as a fraud.
