I'm guessing that there is a fair chance that at least one of the 43 companies alone will allow them to break even on their investment. They should end up doing extremely well on the deal.
- hugh3 16y agoNumbers missing: what is the typical valuation at Series A for a company coming out of YC? If it's $2 million then he'll wind up with (on average) 7.5% of each company (similar to what YC itself gets for about eight times less money), so to break even on one exit it'll have to be a $100+ million exit, which would be bigger than any YC exit so far as far as I know.
