• Doesn't credit the original creator at all in the actual website?

• Would be interesting if we could plot the average amount of time spent on the creation of showhn stuff that gets to the front page, over the past years.

• This looks awesome! Playing it now. It's a really good idea.

  Edit: I looked at a few pitches, I thought they were very realistic. For the Pointer acquisition it only listed the requested round size, not the valuation, which I think is really important for investors. It didn't completely make sense to me why they would need an investment for an acquisition, but when a company gets an acquisition offer is a pretty good time to raise money.

  Feedback: I'd recommend using a different branding rather than Y, since YCombinator invests at the seed stage using standard terms, and doesn't make follow-on investments as far as I know. (I could be wrong.) It's better if you make it a hypothetical VC rather than use YC's branding.

  Game was very fun, thanks for making it.

• So nostalgic. I had fun declining founders because of their various frauds/schemes.

• I mean, technically you didn't recreate anything. You had the LLM pattern recognize something that already existed and it copied it. I don't mean to sound harsh, but create something new.
