s/ countless / a great many /

Best to drop the contrafactual hyperbole .. unless A16z's accountants really have dropped the ball and can no longer enumerate their investments.

Heh, fair enough. My first thought was “thousands” - which is true for YC. Then I thought “hundreds?” I have no idea and I don’t really want to spend time trying to find out, partly as it wouldn’t be a precise figure anyway (they wouldn’t disclose that publicly). So it’s “countless” for me.

No great drama, thanks for taking the worst kind of nitpick with grace.

For some of us these exaggerated claims of greater than aleph-null investments send our eyebrows literally to the stratosphere (/s).
