1/ I like it @HenryLMcNamara There is absolutely a massive need in emerging consumer. A YC would be great……but.
2/ Geographic dispersion in CPG makes it logistically tough. No Silicon Valley of consumer. Portland, Austin, LA, Boulder, etc etc all small pockets- but dispersion makes it hard to get talent (entrepreneurs, team, investors) in 1place.

3/ Interestingly in consumer I do think there is a massive advantage which is it could be done (post co launch) w/ data. We would use Helio but other solutions could exist.

4/ What gets me excited is that would be more of a level playing field for the entrepreneurs. Wouldn’t be a decision based on your network, its based on what you’ve built – and the data that results. That excites me.
