I daresay the copy looks much more appealing than the original. A tale as old as time.

So that makes it right?

Depending on what they copied it can be anywhere from 'meh' to 'guilty'. What it looks like isn't relevant other than in the context of whether or not it is their original work or not.

Yeah, we didn't have YC money for a website designer, unfortunately.

> YC money

Last time I looked, YC doesn't invest much in the companies it accepts.

But I want to focus on the overall tone that you've taken in this discussion: You're playing the victim. It's hurting your credibility.

I assume that you applied to other incubators? That you've tried to pitch other venture capitalists and other sources of funding?

Why aren't you getting what you're looking for? Don't assume it's because everyone is sexist! Be honest with yourself!

Honestly, just moving to a webflow template would likely do you a world of good for $100 or so
