Thanks. 1 more question. How do you decide how much equity you would expect for YC's investment? I was on wompt and conovore the other day when all of this was going down and people were sharing their startups and many seemed very far along. They way I see it YC adds the following value: 1. Operational Help (incorporation, UX, UI etc) 2. Strategic Advise (PG/JL/HT and others) 3. Cohort Batch (fun,fun,fun, we we we so excited) 4. Alumni Network 5. Demo Day and Access to Investors Anything else? Thanks.

We usually ask for 7%. If a startup is unusually far along, sometimes less. We might ask for more if the group seems super risky (e.g. undergrads, and we suggest the idea).
