Looks like he is really bitter from this whole deal. Meanwhile there are 100s of start-ups taking on VCs with Ycombinator.

Yeah, but ycombinator's involvement seems like it would keep vcs on their best behavior. It's (I believe) common knowledge that all the founders and the yc principals share info on vcs, so screwing founders (for real, not just in the founders' opinion) has much higher costs.

Is there a site like RateMyProfessor for VCs?

Whose fault is it that he was greedy and opted to go for "Zuckerberg status", and then picked the wrong people for the journey?
