Investors: If you think it's ok to reneg on handshake deals with startups during an epidemic, it's ok for startups to reneg on handshake deals with you when there's no epidemic. Deal?

You'd be doing a huge service to startups, in & out of YC, if you published a list of funds which have broken deals. "Founders first" counts most when it comes at investors' expense.
There is already such a list that YC maintains for its startups to check.

Kind of a shame that YC doesn't choose to publish it more widely, but I suppose that's one way to confer competitive advantage for your portfolio... Has leadership ever thought about going public with it? You could root out bad actors better than anyone else in the space.

I see the counterarguments, FTR, some investors would make blanket decision not to work with YC. It'd likely be ones you don't want to work with anyways, but who knows. That aside, thanks for all the essays you've written & shared over the years! Huge for young entrepreneurs.
