"Inadequate Equilibria".

If you picked a HN comment at random, then the person who made that comment are overwhelmingly unlikely to raise $100MM at the drop of a hat. Picking a HN user at random won't do it either.

But there's not a lot of finance-related submissions on HN. The people in the comments may be unusual. And off the top of my head there certainly is an existence proof for at least a few investors on the news site for Y Combinator, a VC fund, such as pg or sama. There are obviously other VC people on here as well.

I founded and ran a quant trading firm for about a decade :)

no one said it would be fast but plenty of people on here know how to talk to allocators and have helped raise before.
