Start Fund And SV Angel invest $9 Million In New Y Combinator Startups

Earlier this year SV Angel and Yuri Milner partnered on a new venture fund, called Start Fund, to invest $150,000 in every new Y Combinator startup. All but one company from that class took the money. And LikeALittle, the holdout, had already taken funding from both Milner and SV Angel.At TechCrunch Disrupt in New York a couple of months ago SV Angel said they were making the same offer to the most recent batch of Y Combinator startups. The terms are the same - $150,000 in convertible debt with no cap and no discount on conversion. If you don't speak venture capitalist, here's what that means - other than gifting someone money, this is the most favorable a startup can raise money. It's very easy to say yes to this.
