    $50k invested in Segment after Demo Day yielded about $12.4m. You had to be pretty bold to invest after Demo Day, though, because then they were making technology to warn lecturers when students could no longer follow them.

        I still think there's something to the idea of telling speakers anonymously when you can no longer follow them. How often have you been in that situation and said nothing? The problem is, professors are the world's worst initial market. Maybe now it's just a Zoom feature.

        And you would have to have been at Demo Day. I often wish there was a way to invest in startups without being part of the "in crowd".
