Even if you had a bad YC experience, it wouldn't be to your advantage to go public with it. You'd burn bridges for little gain.

The only people who seem to bad-mouth investors are ones who've already made more money than they know what to do with (Sabeer Bhatia style: http://www.foundersatwork.com/1/post/2009/02/a-note-about-sa...). YC hasn't had any giant, mega-hits yet that would warrant a founder poisoning their relationship with the investment community.



The classic has to be the ArsDigita story. It seems that Philip Greenspun has removed the story from his site, but I found it elsewhere.
