Highlights
So fun seeing all of the new companies at @ycombinator demo day! Incredible how quickly some companies are ramping ARR these days.
Some rounds still tricky - raising $3m at $60m post makes it tough for any firm with a concentrated approach + deep portfolio support to engage. Not a complaint - just an observation. As long as the businesses continue on their current trajectory, they’ll be just fine for their next raise :)
