it's probably going to be a fund that only accepts ideas that aren't related to whatever the trending thesis is at the time
i'd bet the exit rate would be higher because it takes a certain type of founder to have the resolve needed to go all-in on an idea that isn't trending

My co-founder and I live in NYC making $40K / year as YC founders even after raising millions. That's $9.61 per hour (based on 80 hour work week). Many people think that if a founder raises millions, it makes them a millionaire. But here’s the reality of being a founder: - I am on my parent’s health insurance - I share a 1 bedroom apartment with my co-founder to cut costs - I eat microwave meals because they're fast and cheap - I take the subway everywhere instead of ubering We could be making 5-10x more in our past corporate jobs.

We wake up every day thinking about our users instead of how much money we are making this year. Founders need to be all in.
