Key insights
- Angel and seed investors are “the first money in” and critical for startups to become scalable companies.
- YC is self-interested: more great angel investors benefit YC companies, and they hope attendees will invest in those companies.
- Example of venture investing success: George Doriot’s ARDC made a $70,000 seed investment in Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) in 1957 that returned $35 million.
