> Sam was part of YC's inaugural batch in S05 and founded OpenAI as YC Research in 2015

Notice how they omit any mention of Loopt, and almost try to imply that he's famous for founding OpenAI, when the trajectory was really Loopt -> YC President -> other stuff -> OpenAI, and Loopt was a failure that was acquired for barely more than it raised in VC money, and spent its waning days as a seedy gay hookup app.

Sam's success was preordained, and failure, for him (and his VC backers), was never an option.
