That's $6M every batch, at least $12M a year. Assuming YC classes does not expand. I think PG mentioned about 1/3 of the YC companies fail. So that's $4M in the water every year. Out of the rest 2/3s chances of being a Heroku are... actually I'm going stop here because I'm sure they've worked out all the math already.
- trotsky 16y agoWhy stop there? How about $50k to everyone in the greater bay area with 10 slides and a business plan?
- MichaelApproved 16y agoMaybe the extra 150k can help lower the 1/3 failure rate.
- axod 16y agoI'm pretty sure more money can actually make things worse not better.
- robryan 16y agoWould be interesting to know how many YC companies failed because they couldn't get even a minimum amount of funding required to sustain themselves and continue. Of course some of these may have just burned through the extra cash then hit the same problem.
- nerfhammer 16y agoSomeone should fund 50% of YC co's $150K by coin flip so that we can get a convincing answer to this question
