I was treated like a second class citizen and tossed to the side. My account was deleted. I contacted all 4 of the founders. Not one would respond. They went dark.
I would hope that no one else gets treated as poorly as I was and experience this type of disrespect.
yea Mark, you are right. I did learn an expensive lesson.
One of my main frustrations though was that this was a very highly regarded YC company. Should consumers expect this disrespectful behavior to be accepted from other YC companies as well?
Should YC founders be expected to be able to simply pick and choose which customers they want to arbitrarily delete?
I can completely understand if this was a fly by night operation. But YC is basically the Harvard of startups and this was completely out of left field for me.
I spent over $3,250 traveling to Silicon Valley. I spent over 60 hours of intense work to do a project for free for them that they requested.
I delivered them a beautifully custom 38 page research report that you can see here: http://f.cl.ly/items/3f3u1e14273P2v2a1Y2J/CAP1.pdf
