No clue. You’re going to have to ask

I’m assuming that YC frowns on their funded companies doing unsavory things?

As someone who applied to every YC company in my region, I find their funded companies do lots of unsavory things. I stopped buying from one because they were using deceptive marketing, and I stopped applying to one after the Glassdoor talked about the long hours and racist incidents.

There's a kind of YC culture where they believe nice guys do well [1]. And they're likely biased towards funding nice people. But after they're funded, they don't really have any control over the company.

Only if it leads to unsavory revenue reports.

Didn't YC literally invest in a ponzi scheme?
