Summary
This week we cover the explosive whistleblower exposé on Delve, a YC-backed compliance startup accused of fabricating audit evidence and leaving hundreds of clients unknowingly exposed to legal liability. We then dig into Jerry Neumann's "We Have Learned Nothing," a data-backed argument that decades of startup frameworks have produced no measurable improvement in whether companies actually succeed. We close with the Wall Street Journal's reporting on OpenAI's major strategic pivot away from its "do everything" approach to refocus on coding and enterprise, and what that signals about competition with Anthropic.
