The surprising thing I believe now after coming back as CEO of YC: The size of your round doesn’t matter. Having 70 mo runway gives you a lot of shots but it doesn’t get you product market fit. The thing that matters: you must be a great builder solving a real problem.

If anything having less shots will make you less complacent and make your last shots count most

i'd echo this and also add: after the initial build period, if you're not getting traction in what you're doing you should pivot every year. 12 months is more than enough time these days to realize if you are going to make it big, and if you're not, you should go all-in on something else having 5 years of runway does you no good if you are doing the same thing over and over again. but it's 5 big swings if you manage it well

arguably shorter runway == more discipline and less blue sky architecture debates

> The size of your round doesn’t matter. Can you publish (names removed) YC's dataset on this? That would be very helpful for startups (and the world)
