As an outsider, is this for a 6-month very early angel investing, and is a total offering (meaning that's all you get for 6-months for your startup?)

edit: Also I have no idea what a 'post-money safe' is.

YC's model has never been to fund startups for long, only to get through the batch and then hopefully raise longer-term funding at Demo Day. When Scott and I were in the Winter 2009 batch, we got $15k. Costs have gone up since then but not by that much. $150k and $125k are both more than enough to accomplish the primary purpose. Actually I wish they'd lower it further. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKHFZBUTA4k

No offense, but some quick googling will answer those questions.

I appreciate when someone asks such questions as a post here saves 50 readers googling. Also it might start an interesting discussion.

Agreed.
