Identity review 2026-10-07: this profile is the lunar lander company Instinct Space. Imported round19333 USD250m Series B concerns the separate Noah Shinn/Spear Street AI assistant; YC association41101 is unsupported for that financing. Original source-linked round retained pending source-link reconciliation; it must not be treated as verified space-company fundraising. https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/instinct-space https://instinct.co/terms SHOW MORE
