Not really, I think most of here would assume YC would in the next few years produce a solid return. Here your basically aligning youself to YC's performance instead of trying to pick which ones you think will turn out the best. Although sounds like they are still doing that additionally.

- daniel_levine 16y agoabsolutely not. YC is getting their percentage at valuations of around 200-300k. This investment will convert at valuations closer to 5M these days. So in fact they're effectively paying 10x what YC is paying for about the same stake in a company post the financing. Congrats to YC and time will tell if it works, exciting either way.
- ebaysucks 16y agoPerformance is only the nominator of what defines return. The denominator is the investment valuation, which is significantly different for YC and DST.
