I left on my own volition. Founder problems are the rule, not the exception. I'm still friends with quite a number of my batch mates.

Can you point out the inaccuracies? Because to me, these were my experiences. Shed some light. :)

I think the biggest issue is the huge oversimplification of YC.

If I were to eat sushi at Jiro ('jiro dreams of sushi') and I said: Couldn't eat at Jiro's, heres what you're missing:

  *You sit at the bar and an old guy serves you raw fish.*

It wouldn't be inaccurate, but it would be a gross oversimplification of what it involves and the effort put by Jiro beforehand.

I too was part of YC and I don't think your articles captures the essence of YC even in a small way.

I wasn't trying to capture every aspect of YC. The article wasn't about diminishing YC. Just trying to keep things positive and help people keep building. :)
