Title: I contracted (development work) for a YC startup for over a year. About a month ago, they went radio silent after I decided to end my contract with them and pursue other work. I&#x27;m now owed about $8,000 for my final two invoices (which apparently was &quot;on the way&quot; via ACH and must have been retroactively cancelled once I told them those would be my final invoices).<p>They are not answering my calls or emails. I still have access to all of their code and deployment environments (which I have not touched), and they haven&#x27;t worked with anyone else since my departure. I believe they&#x27;re going under.<p>What are my options? Unfortunately, I am in NYC and they&#x27;re in SF, and our contract provides for all disagreements to be settled in SF court.<p>Throwaway account because disparagement, NDA and all that.<p>EDIT: For everyone that thinks I have ideas about doing something malicious to their site, of course I&#x27;m not stupid enough to do that. I mentioned the access to code to show how I&#x27;m sure they&#x27;re going under (I know they haven&#x27;t had any active development since I left).
