Wow, pretty bold bet SamA!
Anybody know how Sam's Proposition 3 would have played out for prior years of YC? He's betting that net valuation of the entire YC W15 class will exceed $3B by 1st Jan 2020. That's roughly $30m per startup in 5 years. How many prior YC classes passed that bar?

- lettergram 12y agoRecall that the W15 batch was also much larger than previous batches with billion dollar valuations.
- jeffwass 12y agoThat's why it should be normalized per startup. Roughly $30m per, at 5 years.
- dxbydt 12y agoYou know, if there was a private ticker say BYC53 on sharespost, which mirrors sama's 3 bets with the 5 year expiry, then a lot of us can trade alongside & quantify the worth of those 3 propositions.
