Maples: Non-Consensus Startups tend to be underpriced

Making macro statements in the startup world is resisted by the speaker as they believe each startup is unique. They emphasize the importance of non-consensus and rational pricing in seed investments to make significant returns. The speaker highlights that startups with low initial valuations, like Pinterest, Airbnb, Dropbox, Uber, and Lyft, have shown higher success rates than those with overpriced seed rounds. They caution that popular and overvalued startups may not yield substantial returns for the investors or the entrepreneurs, stressing on the value of being non-consensus and investing in innovative yet unpopular ideas for long-term success in the startup ecosystem.
