Jetbrains charges way too little for such a ridiculously good product.

I have some personal experience with this. Our company is Direct Match. We used to use the directmatchx.com website. Adding an X on the end isn't that odd in the trading world, but we would get comments on it all the time. directmatch.com ended up costing us $8k and well worth the purchase.

For me it came down to, how can I tell customers, recruits, or investors that I'm going to be this huge impactful startup if I didn't even own the .com of my name? I couldn't. And now I never get a question about if my company's name is "Direct Match X" or why there's an X at the end of the domain name.

Is it that surprising? What's the bull case for commodities exactly? Europe continues to slide in and out of recession. China is slowly significantly and is structurally trying to change it's economy to be more consumption based. LatAm is a mess.

It's true for W15.

The pro-rata provision is only for raises of $100M or more post-money. Is YC only going to do these transactions for post-money between $100M and $250M? Or will you ask to be part of raises below $100M?
