Ask PG: Do you invest in any startups outside of YC?
Do you invest, advise or other ways involved with any co.s that choose not to participate in YC or have matured beyond a YC stage? Some startups need more your sage advice, than any investment.
- pg 13y agoYC itself is more about advice than investment. But in answer to your question, no, except for one startup from Imagine K12.
- SurfScore 13y agoWould you consider the IK12 Start Fund an investment in other startups? Or is that just more of a general investment?
- wunna 13y agoIs there any other option for my (slightly) grown-up startup with a ton of traction to come pitch you? p.s I did read the YC FAQ etc. But hoping that might be just the "official line" :-)
- ig1 13y agoIf I was in your situation and my startup closely aligned with pg's interests what I'd do is find a mutual contact who pg trusts and will give you a rave introduction. For that matter the same applies to any other investor.
- rdl 13y agoHonestly you are probably better off doing YC around when you'd do a Series A, or even slightly after, assuming all your investors would be ok with it (they should be), vs. really early.
- shloime 13y agoI love that pg actually browses hn and responds to questions like this.
