So like 1 experienced researcher or 2 college grads for 1 year's worth of salary. Putting it through that perspective, it does not seem like much. Wondering no

  Alternative view: this is a pre-pre-seed and fills a much needed gap in the VC ecosystem. Well-connected founders raise very early money from "friends and family". Most people don't have wealthy friends and family, so getting the first money in to kickstart the venture is difficult.

  > So like 1 experienced researcher or 2 college grads for 1 year's worth of salary. Putting it through that perspective, it does not seem like much. Well, I think the point is that you would be the one doing the work at first and you wouldn't have to pay yourself market rates because you also get to own the vast majority of the company. > Wondering now how much hours of compute this would buy. It also comes with $250k in Azure compute credits, which would buy ~70,000 hours on a machine with an A100 GPU, for instance.
