What could/would be our 10x growth lever in innovation/living quality.
(reason i ask - in the end YC is one of those companies shaping global innovation that could help move towards above)
My top pick is called "Black Cadillac" it's from a local shop and also reminds me of the modest mouse song of the same name.
Hi @sama, I'm From Brazil and CEO of an EdTech startup. We're profitable, with 60 employees and a lot consumer traction/revenue, but didn't raise a Series A yet. Questions: 1) What advice would you give to applicants from Brazil and other large countries (India, China, Russia), whose products initially target their local markets? 2) What advice would you give to post-Seed and pre-Series A applicants? When (if at all)…
2) We have funded companies that have raised more than $10 million, and they've said they still got a lot of value out of YC. If anything, it's usually the existing investors that have a problem with it.
3) Standard deal, BUT we buy common stock, so it doesn't trigger any anti-dilution stuff. Most investors understand that YC is mostly "sweat equity" anyway.
I might come to Brazil for New Years!
