The thing is accounting for the risk and the lack of liquidity and opportunity cost I don't think it is worth coming to the table for most investors without pro rata. That's from my own calculations and some others posted here and there. Essentially, if you don't have pro rata or something equivalent to bet more on the winning horse the rational decision would be to place money in the stock or commodities market honestly with much less risk.
But yeah you should pick an investor according to what you want-- help and advice as part of the package is valuable and good investors and advisors give it openly.
Curious of course on feedback on this -- do other people get different numbers?
P.S. Maybe that is the idea for this post from someone from YC? Push away other future investors? :D
