Disclosures

Y Combinator investor return claims (3.3x, 5x, and 8x returns for lower, median, and upper quartile investors) are attributed to Garry Tan, CEO of Y Combinator, and Y Combinator's internal study of Demo Day investor returns between 2018-2020. These claims have not been independently verified by Access Fund.
