just curious, but why aren’t more investors cool with founders sending YC apps instead of decks? (or are they?) like i’m writing both now, and i just find YC’s memo to be so much better at pulling out the important info. is it just length of time it takes to skim?

because they have a lot more pattern matching on a pitch deck making a good deck (content, not formatting) requires a high degree of clarity https://www.slideshare.net/PitchDeckCoach/sequoia-capital-pitchdecktemplate

Tell that to their $200 MM write down on FTX… That anybody invested that much money because of FUD and a cult of SBF personality, without proper due diligence, is beyond a breach of fiduciary responsibility. It’s just gambling.

i just listened to an interview with Tyler Cowen that seemed to suggest he didn't see the SBF thing coming, and he is an incredible judge of people. So idk. I get where you're coming from but I'm also going to guess it wasn't so simple.
