what is the critical problem that Brickyard addresses?

So we wanted to build a venture firm that addressed the toughest period, in our opinion, in startups, which is the trough of sorrow. That is the 2 or 3 years post your first raise where you fall off the peak of disillusionment, you know, your first TechCrunch article, and then you're in a knife fight, you know, of extreme uncertainty as you figure out, you know, what the customer wants and as you are learning into product market fit. Mm-hmm. And the only people that understand what the trough is like are other founders building in the trough or who have done it. And so YC is the best there is at getting to teams their first raise.
