What about the people who invested 12 million dollars in the company. How many YC round is that?

I think those people were investing in mostly La Meur's name and not his company. Keep in mind, we didn't see his sales pitches, which might have been very convincing.

I tend to think that no matter how much people like Loic, when $12m gets raised and the product falls flat, somebody somewhere feels like they have a little egg on their face.
