Elizabeth Yin, co-founder of Hustle Fund, is publishing 'The $1000 Angel' (Spring 2027), distilling lessons from reviewing 100k pitches and investing in 1,000 startups including Anthropic, Olipop, and Mejuri.
Key ideas: make 50-100 investments over 5-10 years for portfolio returns; early-stage returns require 100x+ outcomes, not 2x; the best deals look weird at first. She also stresses that trust starts at 100% and only goes down — every number in a pitch either builds or erodes it.
