How Y Combinator “ruined” my startup

This appears more linkbait than anything. Ycombinator had nothing to do with your start-up. They didn&#x27;t ruin it, you likely never had it already. You never had a Founders agreement, or anything concrete with the two people you were calling &quot;technical cofounders&quot;. You never even applied to YC, so how could it have been responsible for ruining your startup?<p>If you really feel your startup is ruined by these events, I&#x27;d argue you never had a startup, you just had an idea you were working on, and gave up on too easily.

i thought u were going to say that your other two co-founders took your idea and continued working on it without you! certainly hope that is not the case!
