Why are YC companies worth YC demo day prices? Because you are more likely to find a multi-turn fund returner that makes your whole investing career in one check than any other place in the world

Something I found surprising / interesting: only 30 funds have invested in more than 1% of unicorns at seed (!) reassuring that there’s opportunity for both emerging managers and first time founders especially at the early stage

How to find deal flow before breaking into VC: 1. Social media - search founder or building something new 2. Demo days - AWS accelerator, Forum Ventures, Hearst Labs, ERA, Techstars, YC, 43 North 3. Universities - Network with DRF, RDV, PearVC, NEA fellows 4. Product hunt

If you invested in every YC company, for every 100 companies you did you would have 5 unicorns 👀

You frame it well! It's hard to be a top VC over 20 years. That's probably investing in a top company every year or at least every other year (10-20 in total). Odds of $B company is like ~1% at seed/early, so do the math for 20 years. Super hard. I don't know you quantify the…

100% agree but the founders need to keep investors aware of what’s happening. Too many founders stop updating folks that can actually help…especially if things aren’t going as well as founders had hoped.

I view the investor job is to provide honest feedback. If the founder is behind - I tell them. If they are crushing it - I tell them. Many investor always challenge founders, but I don't think thats right. You build trust - by caring, being honest and being consistent.
