My first angel investment was $200. Today, I am excited to share that I will be scouting for Andreessen Horowitz. I’ll keep investing in founders with an unconquerable soul. One meeting. Decision in 7 Days. Money wired a day after. Great questions. 30 min. Your story. Pre-seed. Seed. Series A. Anything. Anywhere. 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗮𝗴 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗜 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁.

We’ve built a 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮𝘀𝗲𝘁 of 𝟭𝟭,𝟬𝟬𝟬+ 𝗬𝗖 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 and their 𝟱,𝟲𝟬𝟬+ 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗲𝘀. This lets us approach YC investing with a quantitative angle. We use it to source, research, and evaluate. The 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻 side 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻. Our outreach is manual, meetings are personal, and we use our gut to judge founders. We try to know everything public about a company before a meeting. This way, we can 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲. Less meetings, more investments. We are trying for accurate sourcing, unique conversations, and better investments. This batch, Charlie was on the ground in SF meeting (portfolio) founders; I was in Munich running the numbers. Reach out if you would like to learn more!

𝟭,𝟱𝟳𝟮 YC companies screened. Invested in 𝟭𝟴. Here are some things we've learned: 1. 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘆. We screen every company and founder. 2. Schedule meetings 3 weeks 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆. Founders are told to wait until 10 days before Demo Day. Some of the best don’t. 3. 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲. Read the launch page, research, keep the call short, own the meeting. 4. Ask real questions. Cut off the rehearsed pitch, go straight to the person: who are you, and 𝘄𝗵𝘆 are you doing this? 5. Be 𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁. Decide, sign, wire. To be A+ instead of A–, get them another cheque. 6. Skip post-Demo Day meetings. The best rounds close in <3 days. CC: Charlie Hoch
