mRNA will be crucial to beating cancer and solving disease but only if we can deliver it to the right cells.
Nanograb's AI-designed multivalent nanoparticles address a cell's unique receptor fingerprint, now proven in vivo across multiple cell types and scaling to many more.

Browser agents use computers the same way humans do, unlocking powerful use cases for personal assistants, browsers, and enterprise workflows.
After talking to 20+ founders in the space, we're excited to put out the definitive market map for browser agents.

If you invested in every YC company, for every 100 companies you did you would have 5 unicorns 👀
You frame it well!
It's hard to be a top VC over 20 years. That's probably investing in a top company every year or at least every other year (10-20 in total). Odds of $B company is like ~1% at seed/early, so do the math for 20 years. Super hard.
I don't know you quantify the odds of founding a unicorn? Hard. Super hard to do it x2.
It's a directional point, and the real headline is that they are both super hard!

He wrote the book on going from 0 to 1.
