One startup I joined was rejected by YC, and when we got the news the founder bought a car. This made it hard for me to take him seriously (and get paid) and I quit.

This was a while ago and the startup still hasn't launched. I hope he succeeds at some point. The founder's idea is brilliantly disruptive and democratizes a multi-billion dollar industry we all take for granted.

Since you quit, do you mind telling us the idea or their website?

I signed an NDA so I can't talk about his project, but we nixed the non-compete clause (it was so broad it was unbelievable) so if he fails and closes up shop, I might look into running with the idea.
