Why do all start-ups say this? I don't think there are many companies publicly saying "We're going to go 'scorched earth' on everybody."
Because if they had the money to be honest about it they'd not be a start-up!

Oracle, right?
Striving to make the world a better place for us. Is what is implied.
It was a meme over a decade ago so prevalent that HBO's Silicon Valley did a joke about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8C5sjjhsso
Saying it in 2026 just makes it sound more insincere than usual.

So they decide to drop this from their COO while their CEO has been doing all the talking on a friday night? Looks like YC told them they had to announce this and this was their least-viewable option.
funny thing about this tweet is the founder still couldnt stop herself from name dropping MIT
Look at this series of tweets from her
> One interesting observation I’ve noticed is a lot of top founders did oddly strong at math from a young age.

Much like their soc audits, her time at MIT was also incomplete. Still doesn’t stop them from cosplaying as a grad though!

At least they put a ladder up that tree
Notably YC hasn't wished them a farewell.
