Cluely, an AI startup led by Roy Lee, attempted to host an afterparty for the Y Combinator's AI Startup School. The anticipation led to an overwhelming turnout with around 2,000 people, despite the limited invites only sent to friends and acquaintances. The event was abruptly shut down by police due to traffic obstruction, leading Lee to declare it the most legendary party that never happened. This incident highlights the fervor and unpredictability inherent in San Francisco's startup culture, which often thrives on bold and controversial marketing antics.
Cluely's aura is just too strong!" Lee was heard shouting outside as the cops busted it up.
It would have been the most legendary party in tech history. And I would argue that the reputation of this story might just make it the most legendary party that never happened."
We only invited friends and friends of friends," he said.
When it was set to begin, so many people were standing outside the venue that the lines wrapped around blocks.
