Try to ask yourself these questions:
1. What do I like/dislike in the video
2. If I had 100k at my disposal and I’d be forced to spend it on three companies would I spend it on this one
| Company | Company URL | Good | Bad |
| ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Relativity Space | https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/relativity-space | Show passion, experience, clear | Reading script?, Not sure the pain they are solving |
| RevenueCat | https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/revenuecat | Founder-market-fit | Traction? |
| Yummy | https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/yummy-inc | Nice traction numbers, no mention of team | Starting a startup because there are no startup in venezuela?, Maybe problem, Competition? |
| Koywe | https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/koywe | Kinda role playing, Vision/purpose/mission/, Team+history | No traction number, Problem: no clear link between all humanity's problem and crypto no clear strategy, It's like saying "african are hungry, let's do an AI startup" |
| Mono | https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/mono-2 | | |
| Shotput | https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/shotput | Benefit/problem, Experienced pain [[Founder-market-fit]] | Not much team details, Traction? |
| Manatee | https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/manatee | | cold, problem/pain they r solving? dont get what they do, no team details |
| Legistify | https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/legistify | clear problem & solution. clear traction | no team details |
| Beam | https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/beam | [[Founder-market-fit]] faced problem in pro life, clear solution, clear traction, very well executed overall | no team details |
| Digibuild | https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/digibuild | | joke? worst video, they r just talking about previous interview or w/e |
| Muse | https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/muse | good team history | did they even mention anything beyond the team? haha |
| Vori | https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/vori | evoked traction, problem + market size, kinda clear solution, good team history details, skills | bad video quality |
I'd invest 50k in Beam
I'd invest 50k in Vori
maybe not best investing strategy, I don't claim to be expert though :p
## Beyond [[Forecasting]]
Now look at these companies numbers and infer if your investing model is accurate, then run backprop accordingly
