I don't think a lot of founders actually write code , but I did, I just realized my startup was probably going to be illegal soon and also that it wasn't going to get the funding it needed.

now I'm curious about the illegal thing

Very unlikely to change anytime soon, but the SVB collapse should have taught us something.
I personally know the founders of three YC startups that are functionally dead (raised capital, not developing anything, basically laid off everyone but the founder(s)) but are not on this list. I'd bet it's at least twice that number.

The others end up at another Series B+ startup or go to a MANGA company if they can grind leetcode for a bit and get an interview.

Would it be possible add an "expand all" option? I am searching through them with ctrl+f, to figure out which of them are similar to other ideas that are being considered today :D
