The latest drama on San -Franciscan culture took place on Monday night. And it focused around “the most legendary party that never happened,” Cluey founder and general manager Roy Lee tells Techcrunch.
Cluely hoped to throw a postpartum for Y -combination event taking place on Monday and Tuesday called Ai Startup School. The event attracted crowds thanks to planned speakers like Sam Altman, Satya Nadella, and Elon Musk.
Cluely is an AI -ecrustration born of Discussion And Rage-Bait Comedy Marketing. True to form, Lee posted a satirical video on X advertising his postpartum. It shows him encamped by the famous Y Combinator sign -all YC founders take up Selfies. (Cellely is not a YC.
The tweet advertised the party to its more than 100,000 followers and told DM for an invitation. Lee tells Techcrunch that he did not actually send invitations to the hordes. “We just invited friends and friends from friends,” he said.
But it has become the Party, and people shared the details. When it started, start, So many people stood outside the place the lines wrapped around blocks. “It just exploded in proportion,” Lee says. What looked like 2,000 people showed, he added.
A party that may have increased, but it did not have the chance. The lines blocked traffic, so the police officers appeared and closed it. “Cluely’s Aurora is too strong!” Lee was heard shouting outside As the police exploded it.
“It would be the most legendary party in Technika history. And I would argue that the reputation of this story might just make the most legendary party that never happened,” Lee tells Techcrunch, at the same time proud and bumped.
Lee became known in San -Francisco when He posted a viral tweet on x Saying he was rejected by Columbia University after he and his co-founder developed an AI tool to cheat job interviews for software engineers.
They have transformed this tool into a launch that offers a hidden in-browser that cannot be viewed by an interviewer or Proctor. The starting was also viral because of its marketing, which promised to help people “deceive everything.” In April, awkwardly raised a seed of $ 5.3 million, and its marketing is now a little less in-face: “Everything you need. Before you ask.”
The party and its law on demise have naturally become the subject of jokes, memes and inventive rumors. Lee’s explanation about the crowds outside is perhaps more dull than what some people imagined. After the police officers showed, “We did some cleaning, but the drinks are all there waiting for the next party,” he promises.
