Avi Patel on the startup that copied Kled and why he called out General Catalyst by name | E2291

Another company cut and pastes everything you're doing steals your idea, allegedly. After stealing your idea, you go public with it. I woke up to that post and noticed a very, very uh blaring resemblance to our website. Like they photocopied your website to a level that was absurd. I was talking to general catalysts, they were gonna invest that

money into us. The first five minutes of the post, I was messaged by like maybe three of them saying, Avi, you need to take this down right now. By calling out a DC by name, you you really stepped on the blanket. This week in startups is brought to you by Grasshopper Bank. Time is money, don't waste either.
