Kicking off the latest batch of YC calls. We love 6% of companies for $2M. That 3% we own at IPO will absolutely 10x our $50M fund. What a blast.

11 month old son has a ton of energy and is very social. Impossible to take him to any form of sit down meal. Do folks just not eat out for five years or are there any hacks that keep him less wild?

Some data on S25 YC Batch vs non-YC early stage companies also raising money right now. These are from companies our firm has met over the past two weeks. Quite the premium.
