Maybe the extra 150k can help lower the 1/3 failure rate.

I'm pretty sure more money can actually make things worse not better.

Would be interesting to know how many YC companies failed because they couldn't get even a minimum amount of funding required to sustain themselves and continue. Of course some of these may have just burned through the extra cash then hit the same problem.

Someone should fund 50% of YC co's $150K by coin flip so that we can get a convincing answer to this question
