today dhruv and Dhvani told us that they wanted to close yc, here are my thoughts
yc isn’t my baby, but I feel like I’m its cool uncle. For 3 years, I’ve seen yc succeed, fail, and then fail more, and while that has happened I’ve thought of ways we could improve, stuff we are doing wrong, and what we could do to fix it. I’ve never taken initiative though, and now I see that I waited too long. So far I’ve been a worker bee, not a visionary.
“I learned that progress requires iterations, and iterations require failure. A feedback loop to remember” - my loran essay
and right now, if I let Dhruv and Dhvani close yc while thinking there is still a chance, then once again I would just be doing what they say without that much insight gained
I don’t want an elegant departure, I want a brutal death—much more to be learned
I mean if dhruv and Dhvani hand yc off to us, and we fail miserably again and figure out that this was a dumb idea and we are bad leaders in comparison to you, crash and burn, then at least we have closure and that closure has a lot to take away from
if we just close yc and do all these closing down errands, thats leaves a loop forever open in my mind
