YC does investments for life?

[@hungryguys.istanbul]

Is it True that if we are not an American company, our chance to raise capital from US VCs will be less ? Someone just said it's almost impossible to raise fund from US VCs if you're not a US company

[@thinkingcitizen]

why does it matter what currency your investment comes in? dollars, euros, dinars, rupees, doesn't matter... what matters is your product/service and market

[@hungryguys.istanbul]

@@thinkingcitizen You didn't understand my question. I am talking about geographical location, not the currency. Please Read carefully my friend. Are you owner of startup or work for any VC firm ?

[@salihawouda2992]

You can make it because the language of the future is hjman 😁👍

Use a 4 word segment of a sentence for RAG to search for any other segment of a sentence that means the same thing and that picks all the sentences that actually match, then u send those to the LLM and then that makes it easy for LLM to disern the actual correct response, 90% accuracy that old way

[@colgate7532]

can you elaborate on this. what do you mean by “that old way” and why 90% accuracy
