If there's an airbnb in there then I think it's worth betting more. 15 million spread across 100 startups, is that too much? I expect most to fail but the point is I have limited downside risk for unlimited return. the overdiversification argument is moot here because you are not optimizing for total portfolio return but maximizing your exposure to upside. Who says you have to do it all in one go? Keep moving and make bite sized bets but not being married to your ideas. Also how can you be sure that your sound logic isn't going to hurt you in the end like those guys writing rejection letters? I'm sure they have done,some introspection.
And like that guy who said he's going to see nd me a business plan in an hour, I've yet to hear from. One clear distinction is that I am also investing in the person, and if they can't hold up their end or if they think it's an easy way to swindle a years salary they are fucked in the head. I'm here to make bets not run a fucking charity, excuse ma francais.
