I don't think it's an accurate assessment of one's ability to be successful as an angel investor based on which ycombinator startups they would choose to hypothtically fund. Ycombinator startups already go through a thorough vetting process by some of the most experienced investors out there just to enter the class. I don't think a ycombinator class would be accurately representative of the type of deal-flow a typical rookie angel would encounter.
- ivankirigin 14y agoWhy couldn't a rookie just go to demo day? Why does the method matter if the result is profit? Also, I didn't mention it here, but I'd be interested in tracking other accelerator demo days too. It would be fun to see the differences. Overall, the use of demo day is a convenience because this is just a hobby before I dive in.
