I wonder how many startup founders nowadays refuse to join an accelerator/take VC money due of the people leading it.

It happens occasionally. I think an interesting question is when would it be most likely to happen?

It wouldn’t be the marginally funded that’s for sure.

More likely the hottest startups with multiple offers.

I suspect a lot more founders will apply to YC because they know the CEO has a heart, also a spine.
