Can you explain why a record series A valuation is useful for YC unless they bought you out as they bought in. I would assume it means less dilution of your equity stake but I would think a record exit value (e.g. acquisition) without further funding would be the best argument for your model.
- byrneseyeview 18y agoI wonder if there's some sort of correlation between a huge series A and a nice exit later on. Nahhh.
- skmurphy 18y agoThere is a correlation between a huge series A valuation and down round series B, which tends to be dilutive of the seed and A rounds.
- webwright 18y agoI don't think he was saying that a big Series A was good for YC. He was just offering evidence contrary to the authors point that VCs weren't investing.
