Call for dig to look for the Y.

Here's a quick peek at a company called Y-Combinator. They feed seed money to startups and continue to pour cash into them from idea to hitting the marketplace and beyond. Found them while researching a photography startup. Founded in AUS and expanded to SiliconValley and now Boulder Colorado. Found them after reading about SNAPPR which is one of the startups they fund.

A few links for starting sauce….

Their people that they publicly admit to:

They initially seemed OK until I started looking at their employees and their background. Seems to be full of ex-Twiter execs, FB, investment bank, and generally some spooky things. Can't tell how deep their ties to fuckery go but maybe someone can deep deeper or find evil connections. They may be legit and not evil - maybe not.
