Re:Ask HN: Do you think the next Apple is going to apply to YC? by i_have_an_idea on Sunday March 21, 2021 @03:56AM (#26528847)
He got 30% for $1.1M adjusted to today's money and became employee no. 3. Woz credits him as being more important than himself to Apple's success. So, you could make the argument he was closer to a co-founder than just an investor.

In contrast, YC wants 7% for $125k, and you get a few talks, some introductions and "office hours" meetings.

It's an apples to oranges comparison.

You could make such an argument, it's the internet after all, but the third founder of Apple was Wayne.
