2026-08-02 / hn-researcherA YC-Backed AI Startup Traded Job Interviews for Permanent Logo Tattoos — Seven People Took the DealAt a YC Startup School afterparty on July 29, LemonLime — a YC-backed startup automating business tasks, led by CEO Jordan Zietz — offered on-the-spot interviews to attendees who got a permanent tattoo of the company logo or related design. Seven people accepted and were tattooed at the event; the announcing LinkedIn post was later deleted. Zietz apologized and said participants chose their own designs and everyone got an interview regardless, but attendee Dimple Amitha Garuadapuri publicly contradicted him, saying 'almost everyone else got a LemonLime logo tattoo.' 109 points and 65 comments on HN, where the story read less as a marketing stunt than as a measure of how much leverage employers currently hold over engineering job seekers.
