Earlier quoted context omitted.

I think it may be getting (intentionally?) suppressed from the homepage. Given this is a YCombinator website, I wouldn't rule that out. Regardless, it's been an ongoing issue. I know a few involved companies — it takes basically 5 days to get a SOC 2 Type 2 report through Delve. And, of course, they market this way too: "SOC 2 in days". Unbelievable.

Surprised/not surprised that this is getting buried from the homepage

I just got blocked by another YC founder (and potential investor in Delve?) for refuting his handwavey argument that "all compliance companies do this" [0] — this is beyond just marketing, it is active and blatant/intentional fraud. I don't see how it can be defended. But in that sense it is a major crisis for anyone who invested in the company.

Forbes 30u30 pipeline remains undefeated. How did none of this come up during diligence? Feels like a prime example of too good to be true.

You mean from the beginning? They could’ve just done it properly initially then moved to this scam process later

This was such as interesting read, but I found this link via LinkedIn rather than hackernews. I would have expected this to be somewhere at the top right now given how deep the article digs and evidence seems legit.

It's a trending story on X. Was surprised there was no meaty discussion here on HN.

All this evidence seems pretty legit. I found this on LinkedIn and came here to post, but noticed it had already been posted. Surprised I didn’t see it on HN front page.

It is being suppressed by @dang, I believe they may have a policy that allows suppression for bad YC-related news.
