@jonathan_gortz agreed, but if you define immediate by waited value rather than "I dont see the value in this, but maybe in the future it might be valuable", then I dont think its a good enough argument to spend time on
@ycombinator, @paulg with all due respect
You must take action on the delayed money wiring problem. You have two options:
1. Wire the money as soon as the batch starts, or
2. Communicate clearly to founders that the $500k might take a few months to arrive ahead of the batch, so

You must take action on the delayed money wiring problem. You have two options:
1. Wire the money as soon as the batch starts, or
2. Communicate clearly to founders that the $500k might take a few months to arrive ahead of the batch, so they have time to raise for a few months runway.
Why is this a problem? Without capital, they can’t ship as fast as they should, possibly being stuck for up to two months in the batch without any resources and have to raise a pre-demo day round that your MFN kicks in on = diluting them like crazy at a too low valuation.
This has happened multiple times, please take responsibility and don’t blame founders for being angry about this!
pls fix
@Lurrree@ycombinator@paulg There is probably a logical explanation. But these companies have successfully raised angel funding in the meantime with a c-corp structure and those wires takes 48 hours to complete. And if there’s a logical explanation, that explanation needs to be flagged beforehand
