Sam Altman: ‘Too many’ Y Combinator companies raise money

Aka... 'too many' companies go on to raise outside money and dilute ycombinator shares. How unfortunate that ycombinator can invest a limited amount of money and have graduates turn around and get 10x as much from other investors. It must be stopped!

Also, I'll have some serious respect for YC if I'm not banned for this comment =)

YC does not control HN. So that won't get you banned but trolling for a ban just might.

If the trolling gets me a response from one of HN's most famous members then so be it

edit: You gotta admit, my point isn't groundless. I would disagree that it's trolling since HN is owned by YC but if you're right about them not using their position to silence criticism I respect that
