Doing a startup in general will test even the strongest relationships. I've seen old friends break apart.

So yeah, YC can really be that stressful.



Point made - but do you really believe that halving the investment is going to change the level of drama involved? What is this - a shout out to Biggy's "mo money mo problems"?

Surely, we can respect the complexity of founder relationships, and yes, at times their tenuousness - and not trivialize them as matters that can be solved by making it easier for a VC to write-off the investment. It just feels like an aspirin for a different problem...




Consider applying for YC's Fall 2026 batch! Applications are open till July 27.
