hiiii friendssss, i’m gigi!!! and here’s my lil french fry lovin’ bb, shanley. sooo excited to plot w/ you allllll <333

I N S P O

characters: jessica day ( new girl ), lorelai gilmore ( gilmore girls ), harper ( set it up ), summer roberts ( the o.c. ), alexis rose ( schitt’s creek ), & amy march ( little women ). music: click this sentence for playlist !! pinterest: click this sentence for pinterest !!

B A C K G R O U N D

kso, i’m going to be honest. shanley had an extremely normal and happy childhood. her parents met in high school, fell in love and were married after graduating college. her father ( theodore evans / think sandy cohen from the oc ) is an executive vice president of an insurance company while her mother ( clara evans / think kristina braverman from parenthood ) is a stay-at-home mom. born and raised in new york city. she has an older sister ( haddie evans / think prue halliwell from charmed ) who is three years older, she has an extremely close relationship with her. shanley is obsessed with family, tbh. she tells them just about everything. they had dinner together every night and talk about their days, have inside jokes, go on family vacations every summer ( before sclub summers ). overall, her parents are very loving and supportive, wanting only the best for their daughters. in high school, shanley was convinced she wasn’t like other girls *pUkeS*. she was very outgoing. like she literally made friends with anyone and everyone. a friendly face; probably the student who showed the new students around. it was rare to see shanley upset or rude to anyone unless she was defending someone. she had good grades (our shanny was v advanced), kind of a teacher’s pet but like still got her seat moved or sent to the hallway because she wouldn’t stop talking. i almost made her superlative most likely to say something stupid because like that’s her too. she was on the yearbook committee, played volleyball, and was a part of the student government. if she wasn’t at school or home, you would most likely find her with arlo, which whew. a story there. when it came to the sclub, she spent whatever free time she had left with them. encouraging all the trouble; shanley will do ANYTHING you tell her to and probably doesn’t think about it. don’t give her dumbass a dare because she will do it. sorry , i forgot what i was going to say; let’s change topics. NO i remembered, lets carry on. she’s always up for a good time. don’t hesitate to invite shan...even if you don invite her...she’ll invite herself SO. fast forward to college, shanley was accepted to loyola university and moved to chicago. how excite!!!! kso she always knew she wanted to go away for school yanno be miss independent thats why they love her BUT college life wasn’t easy, not in the beginning at least. she was going through a breakup and lost herself for a while. became cold and detached; honestly after the break up her routine was to go to class then back to her dorm, study, cry and repeat. she was only friends with her roommates till finally they forced her to go out and deal with her heartbreak the “””normal””” college way aka getting stupid drunk. *tiktok vc* it izz what it izz. joined a sorority then dropped it because it was too culty for her. she got a part time job at insomnia cookies. slowly became high school shanley again. her spirits were especially lifted when she began student teaching. the kids made her so happy. they also proved to her that teaching was what she was meant to do. next thing ya know, four years are up and our girl has a degree in elementary education. no one probably asked but her love life !!! like mentioned earlier shanley is single. she was convinced she was going to end up marrying arlo, maybe not right after high school like people assumed but eventually. they just connected on another level so when he ended things after their first year of college, shan was crushed. but if you’re curious, she's still got the hots for arlo. are we surprised tho? no? exactly. thanks for reading, pals. dsjkn okay i’ll add more. fine. so she hooks up with people and goes on dates but no one sticks. she doesn’t want them to stick either. she knows she had that like one great love and doubts she’ll ever feel it again so she just prefers to be on her own. she don’t need no man !!!!!!!! except for one...but mind ur business. so like what is shanley nicole evans up to now? well, her original plan was to move back home once she had graduated. but she was offered a teaching position in chicago and gladly accepted it. she figured since she loved living in chicago so much and it was at the school where she completed her student teaching; it all felt right for her to stay there. this was a fresh start for her. and she got it!! ya girl moved into a beautiful ( expensive ) apt near lake shore drive, started her own tiktok account where she randomly went viral and fell in love with all her students who she calls her kiddy beans!!

E X T R A !!

has 4 tattoos: portrait of her dog, on her left calf // why? again obsessed w/ her dog aquarius symbol, on her right outer elbow side // zodiac hoe. Is v proud coffee mug, on her right wrist side // her first tattoo. couldnt think of anything else. honey bee, back of her arm above elbow // got really drunk, heard a song, thought of arlo, ended up at a shop with friends as a joke and woke up the next morning with it. 8 piercings: 3 each lobe.

The Sad Demise Of RealtyShares: What’s Next, Alternatives, And Lessons

When I found out RealtyShares was closing its doors to new investors on Nov 7, 2018, I was shocked and saddened. Given they are based in San Francisco, I had met multiple people from RealtyShares since mid-2016 and developed some good relationships.

I feel terrible for the people who will no longer have jobs as we enter the holidays. In a way, I feel like I’ve lost a job and colleagues as well since they were a business partner.

On Wednesday, October 24, I had lunch with their CMO at Townhall restaurant. She told me they had just revamped their website and rebranded the company’s name with a new color scheme and logo. I even got a new shirt. You know startups are with their swag.

Further, I was told they would be launching a second fund, with a minimum $25,000 investment (vs. $250,000 for their first), to be more accessible to more investors. Their second fund would act like an index fund for all the deals they vetted onto their platform.

Obviously, the new fund is no longer launching. All that will remain will be an asset management and operations team who will be responsible for servicing existing investors and their approximately $400 million of assets under management until scheduled completion.

RealtyShare wrote in their e-mail, “This transition will have no impact on the underlying real estate investments. Investments will continue to be managed and distributions will continue to be made. Investors will continue to receive asset management updates and year-end tax information.“

What Went Wrong At RealtyShares

I expected consolidation in the space, I just didn’t expect RealtyShares would be one of them so soon given they had raised $27 million in Series C funding in September 2017 and had so much demand. That’s a lot of cash to go through in 13 months. I’m hopeful they still have a cash cushion left for the transition.

In retrospect, it looks like RealtyShares expanded too quickly (personnel, large office space, got in and out of residential at a high price) without an equal amount of supply.

Ever since I joined their platform in 2016, most of their deals were quickly filled. This was part of the reason why I invested in the Domestic Equity fund instead because the fund would always get first dibs on the best deals. I didn’t have time to log in every day to check.

But if you consistently have excess demand, your customer acquisition cost (CAC) will start to go higher because your new customers will just be sitting there without deploying any or as much capital. Hence, finding that supply and demand balance is key.

Further, they probably didn’t have the technology optimized to scale quickly. RealtyShares ran a people intensive business to review, finalize, and manage deals. Their growth was more linear, rather than hyperbolic as venture capitalists like to see. I suspect part of the over-expansion was due to VCs always pushing more aggressively for growth.

I truly believe the vast majority of RealtyShares employees had no idea their next round of funding wouldn’t come through until it was pulled last minute.I truly appreciate my time working with Kristina, Brian, Amy, and Alyssa. I wish them all the very best. I’m sure our paths will cross again.

For Investors On The RealtyShares Platform

Like many investors, I followed up to get more details about what will happen to our investments on the RealtyShares platform, despite their reassurances in the initial e-mail. After all, I invested $810,000 on the platform (not in the company).

This was one person’s response:

Please rest assured that your investment in the DME Fund will be taken care of. We are in the process of transitioning all of our active investments to a fund administrator, NES, who will handle distributions.

We are also in the process of assigning a new manager for the equity investments who will be responsible for ongoing asset management and reporting. We will certainly keep you posted as we continue to firm up the transition plan.

We are focused on making the transition as seamless as possible and the asset management fees we charge should cover this until maturity.

It’s important to remind ourselves that we are not investors in RealtyShares, the business that could no longer raise money to keep expanding. We are investors in individual real estate investments. RealtyShares, at the end of the day, was a marketplace to match investors with sponsors of real estate projects around the country.

According to RealtyShares, RealtyShares created an LLC for each investment as a subsidiary of RealtyShares to invest in equity and preferred equity deals. Investors in RealtyShares, the company, have no claim against these LLCs during a wind down. The fund administrator, NES Financial, will be paid to manage and operate these specific investments and the DME fund until scheduled completion.

It is up to the sponsors to do their jobs and provide investors with the best return possible. They can’t just disappear because RealtyShares was often just one of several investment sources for their respective deals. Further, sponsors always invested some their own money in their deals because investors wanted to see skin in the game.

The sponsor’s incentive is aligned with RealtyShares platform investors to do the best they can to make their deals work. If their deals perform poorly, they’ll make less money or lose money, hurt their reputation, and have a tougher time raising capital in the future.

In the meantime, I recommend everybody write down in detail each deal they own and the contact information of each sponsor for your records. This is extremely important given the governing oversight of RealtyShares may be diminished. For existing investors, nothing should really change except for not being able to invest in new deals.

Log in to RS, click on “Documents” then “Investment Documents” – you can download the full package for the active investments right there to keep handy. Here’s a link where I have gathered all the sponsor and deal profiles of the RealtyShares DME Fund and one individual investment I made in Conshy, PA. There are a total of 18 deals I’ve recorded, which may help some of you.

If you calculate a 1% – 1.25% average asset management fee on $400 million in assets under management, RealtyShares should earn roughly $4 – $5 million a year to keep a team of people to manage their existing assets until their respective target exits. By going from ~125 employees down to 10-15 employees and cutting all new customer acquisition efforts, they should have sustainable business that should last. They just can’t grow like the VCs wanted. I’m assuming they’ll also downsize to a smaller office space to save more cash.

RealtyShares Alternatives

I’m still a believer in the real estate crowdfunding space because it allows us to arbitrage real estate profits around the country. As someone who is sitting in expensive San Francisco, I want to use my expensive SF money to buy inexpensive heartland real estate property with lower valuations and higher cap rates.

Not having to source and manage these properties while earning a higher income is a core thesis of my Buy Utility, Rent Luxury strategy (BURL). I want to own assets that provide collateral and produce the highest amount of passive income.

Based on public funding knowledge and what I’ve observed in the real estate crowdfunding space, here are a couple RealtyShares alternatives. All companies are private, so I do not have knowledge of their financials.

1) Fundrise. I’ve worked with Fundrise since 2016, and they’ve consistently impressed me with their innovation. They were founded in 2012 and are the pioneers of the eREIT product. They’ve not only raised $55 million from venture capital, but they also found a way to directly raise capital through their “Internet Public Offerings” directly from investors on their platform (past 9 months). Most recently, they were the first ones to launch an Opportunity Fund in the real estate crowdfunding space to take advantage of new tax laws.

Fundrise is open to non-accredited investors (e.g. everyone), unlike RealtyShares. Further, their business model of creating tailored funds like the Heartland eREIT is attractive to someone who wants to diversify into real estate, but who doesn’t want to pick and choose individual investments on the platform, despite these investments also being carefully vetted first.

Check out their Form 1-Semi Annual Report filed with the SEC. The first several pages has details of their progress. In September 2018, they surpassed $400 million in assets under management under the Sponsored Programs, and I hope they keep on going.

2) Realty Mogul. Realty Mogul was also founded in 2012 and offers accredited investors a way to invest in debt or equity commercial real estate offerings. They also have a couple eREITs for non-accredited investors. So far, they have distributed over $100M, have 170K members, and have funded over $2B in property deals.

I spoke to their CEO, Jilliene Helman at length on Nov 9 and she mentioned how she wants to build a multi-decade long business not a flip. Instead of growth at all cost, she’s focused on growth at a reasonable pace to ensure long-term profitability. Her firm is extremely focused on the underwriting process, uses technology to automate more cumbersome areas of the business, and has higher origination fees for sponsors to account for the costs of doing business. They also focus on investments larger than $1M.

Realty Mogul has raised $45 million in VC funding, but their last raise was in 2015 according to Crunchbase. Given they are still around, I’m assuming they have found a way to be more self-sustaining by focusing more on quality than on quantity for growth. They have a much smaller team at ~55 people. They also stopped investing in hotels and single family flips in 2015 because they viewed them as more risky and/or cumbersome to manage. 65% of their deals are in bread and butter multi-unit residential property.

Given they have higher barriers for whom they do business with, it feels like they really are focused on hitting singles and doubles instead of home runs, which is more in line with how I like to operate my own business.

I can’t say too much about the other real estate platforms like Cadre (big institutional player), RoofStock (just met them for lunch), CrowdStreet, EquityMultiple and others because I simply haven’t done as much due diligence on them. I have done some research on Rich Uncles and PeerStreet, but I still need to speak to senior leadership there.

Needless to say, please only invest if you have thoroughly done your due diligence and know what the contingency plans are. I would take your time understanding the platform and asking other people about their experiences.

The Future Of Real Estate Crowdfunding

Long term, there will likely only be a handful of winners in the real estate crowdfunding space. It’s the company that gets its technology and supply/demand matching right that will emerge victorious.

As news of RealtyShares’ closing spreads, investors will take pause and reevaluate their alternative investment strategies and do more due diligence on respective real estate crowdfunding platforms like I am right now. Further, I expect real estate crowdfunding platforms to do work to improve their balance sheets, increase their supply of deals, tighten up their underwriting standards, improve their technology, and improve their messaging. All of these things are good for platform investors long term.

I’m confident RealtyShares will do the right thing and see existing investments through to scheduled completion. They’ve got ongoing asset management revenue of $4M+, an asset management team, and a fund administrator in place.

This whole transition process will take one or two months to get sorted. As a result, investors need to stay patient and keep the faith. So far, they have been nothing but responsive, despite difficult times for themselves.

Please remember that real people who tried really hard to make something successful have lost their jobs. Some have families to support while all had hopes for a brighter future.

Some Learning Points

We must learn from every unfortunate situation if we are to improve. Here are some takeaways from RealtyShares’ demise:

1) We often here advice to just start and pivot later. This works if you want to build a lifestyle business, but if you plan to build a VC-backed company heavily relying on technology to scale, it’s worth spending more time getting the technology right first before aggressively launch. Going back to try and fix or optimize your foundation is really costly.

2) Taking VC money means you no longer have full control of your company. Never look down on a fully bootstrapped company that is cash flow positive because they are the masters of their own destiny.

3) Limit alternative investments to no more than 10% of your net worth. Further, diversify your 10% as well. Alternative investments are usually not as liquid as old fashion stocks and bonds. The rewards can be much higher, but so can the uncertainty and headache.

4) Recognize real estate is late cycle as we enter 2019. Inventory is rising, interest rates are rising, and prices are flatlining or going down. Expensive coastal city real estate is already softening. If things get really bad, eventually, less expensive real estate markets will also take a hit, despite long term demographic shifts toward lower cost areas of the country. It usually takes 3-5 years for the real estate market to work its way through a down cycle.

5) You must forecast the health of the real estate market when your equity investments plan to exit. Based on your forecast, you must adjust your IRR expectations accordingly. Don’t believe any of the advertised IRR rates. They are almost always blue sky scenarios, and we know rain and thunder showers inevitably come.

6) Nothing is ever as rosy as it seems. There were a couple small red flags in 2018 that I observed, namely the one month dearth of deals on RS’s platform during the summer and a couple personnel departures, but nothing which would make me suspect they were burning through so much cash that they wouldn’t last through the year. All guidance they gave pointed to continued growth and success.

With Financial Samurai, maybe from the outside, it may seem like writing all these articles, managing the forum, doing podcasts, responding to requests, and building business relationships looks easy. But I assure you that sometimes it is extremely difficult to keep things going smoothly, especially if you’ve got a little one to take care of as well.

This week I had multiple nights where I only slept 3-4 hours because my wife fell seriously ill with food poisoning for 36 hours, our babysitter canceled on us last minute (we had planned 2 or 3 days for 3 hours each day), and the RealtyShares news hit. At one point I felt like the last man standing facing a 1,000 person army. But I kept fighting because that’s the only thing I could do.

7) Stay humble as an investor. It’s sometimes easy to think we are the best investors in the world thanks to such a wonderful bull market. But bad things happen all the time, especially when we least expect it. Certainly don’t take delight in the suffering of others because you might also meet an unfortunate circumstance one day. Try to be humble in everything you do no matter how much success you have.

8) Keep taking calculated risks. Once we accept that bad things will always happen, we will become better investors because we’ll take into consideration exogenous variables during our due diligence process. Those who keep taking calculated risks should be rewarded over time. We’ve just got to take the hits, learn from our mistakes, and keep on going.

I hope this article has been helpful. It’s been a very difficult week for me, and I appreciate your patience and understanding. I will update this post with more information as it comes in. If you discover any more useful information, please share here or in the FS Forum. Thanks.

Daye, a startup developing a ‘cramp-fighting’ tampon, raises $5.5M from Khosla, Index and Kindred

Daye, a “femcare” startup developing a new type of tampon that uses CBD to help tackle dysmenorrhea, has quietly raised $5.5 million in funding from high-profile investors in the U.S. and Europe, TechCrunch has learned.

Backing the seed round is Silicon Valley’s Khosla Ventures, along with London’s Index Ventures and Kindred Capital. The investment sees Khosla’s chief of staff Kristina Simmons, Khosla venture partner Tim Westergren (who also founded Pandora), and Hannah Seal, principle at Index, join Daye’s board.

Other investors in the London-based company include Sophia Bendz (former global director of Marketing at Spotify and now a partner at VC firm Atomico), Irina Havas (a principle of Atomico), David Schiff (founding partner at United Talent Agency) and Kristin Cardwell (VP of International Business Development at Refinery29).

Founded by 24-year-old Valentina Milanova and launching later this year, Daye has set out to build a new brand for female health products “designed with women in mind.” The startup’s first product is a newly developed tampon that uses CBD to help tackle period cramps (or dysmenorrhea) as an alternative to traditional painkillers (CBD is the extract derived from the flower of the industrial hemp plant, a legal relative to marijuana). Daye also claims its product will be more hygienic and sustainable than legacy tampons, and if successful could be a wake-up call to the incumbent and stagnant tampon industry, which has seen little innovation in decades.

“Our goal is to raise the standards of women’s hygiene products by tackling three primary issues: dysmenorrhea, manufacturing standards and sustainability,” Milanova tells TechCrunch. “Women have largely been left out of medical innovation. In fact, until 1993, researchers banned women from participating in [early] clinical trials, as it was believed female hormone fluctuations polluted medical data. To this day, most medications, including those for pain relief, depression and sleeping aids, have not been tested on women. We’re redefining localised cramp-relief, relying on an ingredient that we’ve tested on women first.”

Milanova says she first had the idea for a cramp-fighting tampon in November 2017 and initially used her salary from a day job and credit cards to fund product development. In September 2018, she quit her job to work on the business full-time and build a team, and to finalise clinical trials for the product.

Describing CBD as “having its 15 minutes of fame,” Milanova says the company doesn’t believe cannabidiol should be added to everything, from dry shampoo to cocktails. However, she says CBD is much safer than over-the-counter painkillers, and that the vaginal canal has the highest concentration of cannabinoid receptors and is also the fastest route of absorption into the bloodstream when it comes to pain relief.

“Unlike most CBD products on the market today, our product does not contain any tetrahydrocannabinol (THC),” she explains. “This is why we believe we’re going to be attractive to every consumer who experiences menstrual discomfort.”

Beyond the novel idea of a cramp-fighting CBD tampon, Milanova says Daye wants to raise the bar for tampon production standards and sustainability.

“In Europe, tampons are not classified as medical devices, which means there are no manufacturing guidelines — for context, plasters are more regulated and better sanitised than tampons,” she tells me, to my astonishment. To address this, Daye is introducing pharmaceutical-grade standards and will keep manufacturing in-house.

Period care is also “wreaking havoc” on the environment. “Over the course of her lifetime, the average woman uses enough tampons to fill two double-decker buses. That waste either ends up in our oceans or landfills. We want to relieve the burden period care has on the environment, and offer a product that is equal parts body-safe, effective and as sustainable as possible.”

To begin to answer the question of why something like this hasn’t been done before, Milanova says that menstrual discomfort in general is a massively overlooked problem and that “even the mention of the word tampon makes most people feel uncomfortable.”

The existing market is also monopolised “to the point where innovation suffers.” All tampons on the market today perform and look the same, using the same materials and the same manufacturing processes. Yet, because there’s barely any product differentiation, the Daye founder says most women remain loyal to the first tampon brand they ever tried.

“What we’re bringing to market is a completely novel product, and we’re operating in a very sensitive, intimate area of consumer goods. As a newcomer, we have to gain consumer trust by ensuring we’re in constant contact with our users, taking note of their feedback and iterating on our proposition fast.”

To fund Y Combinator’s top startups, VCs scoop them before Demo Day

Hundreds gathered this week at San Francisco’s Pier 48 to see the more than 200 companies in Y Combinator’s Winter 2019 cohort present their two-minute pitches. The audience of venture capitalists, who collectively manage hundreds of billions of dollars, noted their favorites. The very best investors, however, had already had their pick of the litter.

What many don’t realize about the Demo Day tradition is that pitching isn’t a requirement; in fact, some YC graduates skip out on their stage opportunity altogether. Why? Because they’ve already raised capital or are in the final stages of closing a deal.

ZeroDown, Overview.AI and Catch are among the startups in YC’s W19 batch that forwent Demo Day this week, having already pocketed venture capital. ZeroDown, a financing solution for real estate purchases in the Bay Area, raised a round upwards of $10 million at a $75 million valuation, sources tell TechCrunch. ZeroDown hasn’t responded to requests for comment, nor has its rumored lead investor: Goodwater Capital.

Without requiring a down payment, ZeroDown purchases homes outright for customers and helps them work toward ownership with monthly payments determined by their income. The business was founded by Zenefits co-founder and former chief technology officer Laks Srini, former Zenefits chief operating officer Abhijeet Dwivedi and Hari Viswanathan, a former Zenefits staff engineer.

The founders’ experience building Zenefits, despite its shortcomings, helped ZeroDown garner significant buzz ahead of Demo Day. Sources tell TechCrunch the startup had actually raised a small seed round ahead of YC from former YC president Sam Altman, who recently stepped down from the role to focus on OpenAI, an AI research organization. Altman is said to have encouraged ZeroDown to complete the respected Silicon Valley accelerator program, which, if nothing else, grants its companies a priceless network with which no other incubator or accelerator can compete.

Overview .AI’s founders’ resumes are impressive, too. Russell Nibbelink and Christopher Van Dyke were previously engineers at Salesforce and Tesla, respectively. An industrial automation startup, Overview is developing a smart camera capable of learning a machine’s routine to detect deviations, crashes or anomalies. TechCrunch hasn’t been able to get in touch with Overview’s team or pinpoint the size of its seed round, though sources confirm it skipped Demo Day because of a deal.

Catch, for its part, closed a $5.1 million seed round co-led by Khosla Ventures, NYCA Partners and Steve Jang prior to Demo Day. Instead of pitching their health insurance platform at the big event, Catch published a blog post announcing its first feature, The Catch Health Explorer.

“This is only the first glimpse of what we’re building this year,” Catch wrote in the blog post. “In a few months, we’ll be bringing end-to-end health insurance enrollment for individual plans into Catch to provide the best health insurance enrollment experience in the country.”

Here are the 85+ startups that launched at YC’s W19 Demo Day 1

TechCrunch has more details on the healthtech startup’s funding, which included participation from Kleiner Perkins, the Urban Innovation Fund and the Graduate Fund.

Four more startups, Truora, Middesk, Glide and FlockJay had deals in the final stages when they walked onto the Demo Day stage, deciding to make their pitches rather than skip the big finale. Sources tell TechCrunch that renowned venture capital firm Accel invested in both Truora and Middesk, among other YC W19 graduates. Truora offers fast, reliable and affordable background checks for the Latin America market, while Middesk does due diligence for businesses to help them conduct risk and compliance assessments on customers.

Finally, Glide, which allows users to quickly and easily create well-designed mobile apps from Google Sheets pages, landed support from First Round Capital, and FlockJay, the operator an online sales academy that teaches job seekers from underrepresented backgrounds the skills and training they need to pursue a career in tech sales, secured investment from Lightspeed Venture Partners, according to sources familiar with the deal.

Pre-Demo Day M&A

Raising ahead of Demo Day isn’t a new phenomenon. Companies, thanks to the invaluable YC network, increase their chances at raising, as well as their valuation, the moment they enroll in the accelerator. They can begin chatting with VCs when they see fit, and they’re encouraged to mingle with YC alumni, a process that can result in pre-Demo Day acquisitions.

This year, Elph, a blockchain infrastructure startup, was bought by Brex, a buzzworthy fintech unicorn that itself graduated from YC only two years ago. The deal closed just one week before Demo Day. Brex’s head of engineering, Cosmin Nicolaescu, tells TechCrunch the Elph five-person team — including co-founders Ritik Malhotra and Tanooj Luthra, who previously founded the Box-acquired startup Steem — were being eyed by several larger companies as Brex negotiated the deal.

“For me, it was important to get them before batch day because that opens the floodgates,” Nicolaescu told TechCrunch. “The reason why I really liked them is they are very entrepreneurial, which aligns with what we want to do. Each of our products is really like its own business.”

Of course, Brex offers a credit card for startups and has no plans to dabble with blockchain or cryptocurrency. The Elph team, rather, will bring their infrastructure security know-how to Brex, helping the $1.1 billion company build its next product, a credit card for large enterprises. Brex declined to disclose the terms of its acquisition.

Hunting for the best deals

Ultimately, it’s up to startups to determine the cost at which they’ll give up equity. YC companies raise capital under the SAFE model, or a simple agreement for future equity, a form of fundraising invented by YC. Basically, an investor makes a cash investment in a YC startup, then receives company stock at a later date, typically upon a Series A or post-seed deal. YC made the switch from investing in startups on a pre-money safe basis to a post-money safe in 2018 to make cap table math easier for founders.

Michael Seibel, the chief executive officer of YC, says the accelerator works with each startup to develop a personalized fundraising plan. The businesses that raise at valuations north of $10 million, he explained, do so because of high demand.

“Each company decides on the amount of money they want to raise, the valuation they want to raise at, and when they want to start fundraising,” Seibel told TechCrunch via email. “YC is only an advisor and does not dictate how our companies operate. The vast majority of companies complete fundraising in the 1 to 2 months after Demo Day. According to our data, there is little correlation between the companies who are most in demand on Demo Day and ones who go on to become extremely successful. Our advice to founders is not to over optimize the fundraising process.”

Though Seibel says the majority raise in the months following Demo Day, it seems the very best investors know to be proactive about reviewing and investing in the batch before the big event.

Khosla Ventures, like other top VC firms, meets with YC companies as early as possible, partner Kristina Simmons tells TechCrunch, even scheduling interviews with companies in the period between when a startup is accepted to YC to before they actually begin the program. Another Khosla partner, Evan Moore, echoed Seibel’s statement, claiming there isn’t a correlation between the future unicorns and those that raise capital ahead of Demo Day. Moore is a co-founder of DoorDash, a YC graduate now worth $7.1 billion. DoorDash closed its first round of capital in the weeks following Demo Day.

“I think a lot of the activity before demo day is driven by investor FOMO,” Moore wrote in an email to TechCrunch. “I’ve had investors ask me how to get into a company without even knowing what the company does! I mostly see this as a side effect of a good thing: YC has helped tip the scale toward founders by creating an environment where investors compete. This dynamic isn’t what many investors are used to, so every batch some complain about valuations and how easy the founders have it, but making it easier for ambitious entrepreneurs to get funding and pursue their vision is a good thing for the economy.”

This year, given the number of recent changes at YC — namely the size of its latest batch — there was added pressure on the accelerator to showcase its best group yet. And while some did tell TechCrunch they were especially impressed with the lineup, others indeed expressed frustration with valuations.

Many YC startups are fundraising at valuations at or higher than $10 million. For context, that’s actually perfectly in line with the median seed-stage valuation in 2018. According to PitchBook, U.S. startups raised seed rounds at a median post-valuation of $10 million last year; so far this year, companies are raising seed rounds at a slightly higher post-valuation of $11 million. With that said, many of the startups in YC’s cohorts are not as mature as the average seed-stage company. Per PitchBook, a company can be several years of age before it secures its seed round.

I did not talk to a single company in this batch raising under $10M post (admittedly I only was able to speak with a fraction of the 205).

— Peter Rojas (@peterrojas) March 20, 2019

Nonetheless, pricey deals can come as a disappointment to the seed investors who find themselves at YC every year but because their reputations aren’t as lofty as say, Accel, aren’t able to book pre-Demo Day meetings with YC’s top of class.

The question is who is Y Combinator serving? And the answer is founders, not investors. YC is under no obligation to serve up deals of a certain valuation nor is it responsible for which investors gain access to its best companies at what time. After all, startups are raking in larger and larger rounds, earlier in their lifespans; shouldn’t YC, a microcosm for the Silicon Valley startup ecosystem, advise their startups to charge the best investors the going rate?

Tech Companies Like Foursquare, EventBrite, MeetUp, and Reddit Defend Funding Planned Parenthood Abortion Biz

The heads of 70 tech companies including top names like Reddit and Foursquare are defending taxpayer funding of the Planned Parenthood abortion business.

Despite the fact that Planned Parenthood is the nation’s leading abortion company and regularly aborts more than 300,000 little baby boys and girls every year, these companies want to continue forcing Americans to fund it.

The heads of the companies signed a letter urging Congress to defeat legislation that would defund Planned Parenthood. The letter completely ignores abortion or the fact that Planned Parenthood as aborted so many unborn children annually and is the nation’s leading abortion business– doing more than one-third of all abortions across the country.

Instead, the tech leaders wrongly discuss how defunding Planned Parenthood would supposedly impact women’s health adversely. The letter ignores the fact that Planned Parenthood funding would go to community health centers that provide legitimate women’s healthcare as opposed to abortion.

Below is a list of the tech industry leaders who signed the letter defending the abortion business:

David Karp, CEO, Tumblr Erin Bagwell, CEO, Dream, Girl Film Jessica Banks, CEO, RockPaperRobot Hayley Barna, Venture Partner, First Round Capital Phin Barnes, Partner, First Round Capital Scott Belsky, Founder, Behance Brett Berson, Partner, First Round Capital Kiran Bhatraju, CEO, Arcadia Power John Borthwick, CEO, Betaworks Bryan Breckenridge, Executive Director, Box.org DeVaris Brown, CTO, Super Heroic Inc.

Yesterday, another House committee approved the bill that will defund the Planned Parenthood abortion business.

As LifeNews.com reported, President Donald Trump made an offer to the Planned Parenthood abortion company that it would not only keep its funding but would increase its taxcpayer funding if it would stop killing babies in abortions and focus on legitimate non-abortion healthcare. But Planned Parenthood said no.

As a result, Republicans in Congress have released the American Health Care Act. Their plan to repeal Obamacare includes provisions that would revoke funding for Planned Parenthood. Under the legislation there is a provision in the bill that prohibits states from using “direct spending” on “prohibited entities” with federal funds allocated from the legislation and those entities include any entity that “provides for abortions.” That means the nation’s biggest abortion corporation — Planned Parenthood.

And it’s not happy.

In an email Planned Parenthood sent to its supports, the abortion giant said: “The threat we’ve been warning about has just hit the House of Representatives. Republican leadership introduced a bill that would cut millions of patients off from care at Planned Parenthood health center.”

The new language also prohibits premium tax credits from being used to purchase plans that offer elective abortion coverage — the abortion funding component of Obamacare. Between 2018 and 2020, under the proposal, the small business tax credit generally is not available with respect to a qualified health plan that provides coverage relating to elective abortions.

SIGN THE PETITION! Congress Must De-Fund Planned Parenthood Immediately

A recent survey found that community health centers not only provide more comprehensive health care than Planned Parenthood, excluding abortions, they also outnumber the abortion group’s facilities by 20 to one.

The U.S. Senate took the first step in paving the way for a vote on defunding the Planned Parenthood abortion corporation in early January. The Senate approved on a party-line vote a budget resolution bill. This repeal resolution is the first step in the process to re-direct Planned Parenthood’s taxpayer funding to legitimate health care entities and repeal Obamacare using the budget reconciliation procedure.

President Donald Trump promised to sign a bill that would defund the Planned Parenthood abortion business.

Recent polls also indicate Americans support the defunding efforts. New polling found 56 percent of Americans in battleground states want Planned Parenthood defunded.

The expose’ videos catching Planned Parenthood officials selling the body parts of aborted babies have shocked the nation. Here is a list of all twelve:

In the first video: Dr. Deborah Nucatola of Planned Parenthood commented on baby-crushing: “We’ve been very good at getting heart, lung, liver, because we know that, so I’m not gonna crush that part, I’m gonna basically crush below, I’m gonna crush above, and I’m gonna see if I can get it all intact.”

In the second video: Planned Parenthood’s Dr. Mary Gatter joked, “I want a Lamborghini” as she negotiated the best price for baby parts.

In the third video: Holly O’Donnell, a former Stem Express employee who worked inside a Planned Parenthood clinic, detailed first-hand the unspeakable atrocities and how she fainted in horror over handling baby legs.

In the fourth video: Planned Parenthood’s Dr. Savita Ginde stated, “We don’t want to do just a flat-fee (per baby) of like, $200. A per-item thing works a little better, just because we can see how much we can get out of it.” She also laughed while looking at a plate of fetal kidneys that were “good to go.”

In the fifth video: Melissa Farrell of Planned Parenthood-Gulf Coast in Houston boasted of Planned Parenthood’s skill in obtaining “intact fetal cadavers” and how her “research” department “contributes so much to the bottom line of our organization here, you know we’re one of the largest affiliates, our Research Department is the largest in the United States.”

In the sixth video: Holly O’Donnell described technicians taking fetal parts without patient consent: “There were times when they would just take what they wanted. And these mothers don’t know. And there’s no way they would know.”

In the seventh and perhaps most disturbing video: Holly O’Donnell described the harvesting, or “procurement,” of organs from a nearly intact late-term fetus aborted at Planned Parenthood Mar Monte’s Alameda clinic in San Jose, CA. “‘You want to see something kind of cool,’” O’Donnell says her supervisor asked her. “And she just taps the heart, and it starts beating. And I’m sitting here and I’m looking at this fetus, and its heart is beating, and I don’t know what to think.”

In the eighth video: StemExpress CEO Cate Dyer admits Planned Parenthood sells “a lot of” fully intact aborted babies.

The ninth video: catches a Planned Parenthood medical director discussing how the abortion company sells fully intact aborted babies — including one who “just fell out” of the womb.

The 10th video: catches the nation’s biggest abortion business selling specific body parts — including the heart, eyes and “gonads” of unborn babies. The video also shows the shocking ways in which Planned Parenthood officials admit that they are breaking federal law by selling aborted baby body parts for profit.

Unreleased Videos: Unreleased videos from CMP show Deb Vanderhei of Planned Parenthood caught on tape talking about how Planned Parenthood abortion business affiliates may “want to increase revenue [from selling baby parts] but we can’t stop them…” Another video has a woman talking about the “financial incentives” of selling aborted baby body parts.

The 11th video: catches a Texas Planned Parenthood abortionist planning to sell the intact heads of aborted babies for research. Amna Dermish is caught on tape describing an illegal partial-birth abortion procedure to terminate living, late-term unborn babies which she hopes will yield intact fetal heads for brain harvesting.

The 12th video in the series shows new footage of Jennefer Russo, medical director at Planned Parenthood in Orange County, California, describing to undercover investigators how her abortion business tries to harvest intact aborted babies’ bodies for a local for-profit biotech company and changes the abortion procedure to do so.

Daye, a startup developing a ‘cramp-fighting’ tampon, raises $5.5M from Khosla, Index and Kindred

Backing the round is Silicon Valley’s Khosla Ventures, along with London’s Index Ventures and Kindred Capital. The investment sees Khosla’s chief of staff Kristina Simmons, Khosla venture partner Tim Westergren (who also founded Pandora), and Hannah Seal, principle at Index, join Daye’s board.

Beyond the novel idea of a cramp-fighting CBD tampon, Milanova says Daye wants to raise the bar for tampon production standards and sustainability.
