I only applied to the ARC program after seeing an interview from Jess Lee and Emily Chang, Jess described ARC as the program for outlier founders who often GET OVER LOOKED FOR FUNDING. however when you look at who was chosen for this batch, how on earth are 90% of these selected founders f-ing outliers, 1 founder is literally a head at instagram, another founder literally was literally the youngest engineer at amazon and work at a start that sold to twitch, and literally the cherry on top, another founder literally works at sequoia and had already raised 7M in funding. F sequoia and I’ll never let these scumbags invest in my company or future companies. Im not mad I wasn’t selected, I’m mad because they used the hardship of minorities and exploited that for marketing, only to go around a fund mfs who could easily get funding.
Disclaimer I apply this last batch and didnt get accepted or even interview but seeing the companies that were picked this batch has me sick to my stomach.
