I always reference the Airbnb pitch deck [1] to prove that "success" means you'll 100% lose your values along the way ("Share connection" which was big social selling point for early Brian C.)

Paul G couldn't be prouder of any other company ever from YC and it is well understood that not only are rent seeking slumlords and dirty/dangerous places a frequent problem, airbnb actively destroys communities [2],[3].

So this is what maximum startup success looks like folks.
