1. AH could offer $50k on the same terms if they wanted, and most companies would probably take it. It's not like Yuri/Ron have any exclusivity arrangement. 2.

2. YC classes have grown in size a lot. It's probably a bit more expensive than they planned, so they don't mind sharing the load.
3. Having AH as a partner helps the startups, which means they're more likely to succeed (hopefully).

This is highly plausible and sounding to me like the most likely reason 3. Absolutely, I'm just trying to understand why its as 1/3rd of Start Fund instead of offering their own deal
