Interesting and surprising fact - @fcollective did 20 investments this year and 18 are b2b SAAS or enterprise SW, 1 HW deal and 1 consumer deal. This the most concentrated in b2b we've ever been. Not actually sure why - theories are CAC "tax," more b2b companies created, other?

So the story of BOAT by LifeBank began 2 years ago. A clinic called us in a panic. Someone needed 5 pints of blood. We found the pints in our database and our MD Rider was already at the blood bank, then they called that they only need 2 bags so we adjusted and delivered. – at Victoria Island, Nigeria
We love love!!
This is actually the day I met @maryremmynjoku that very evening we had our first 3hr conversation. 4 days later I told her I loved her and we will probably get married and spend the rest of our lives together. As a lagos girl she thought I was crazy and a little intense.

Most of the YC startups I am seeing from this batch (W19) are super super early, with much later stage valuations. I wish they were raising less money with valuation < 10M post. Raising at a $15/20M valuation at this stage is, most of the time, going to kill them,
Thoughts?
