Would you invest money to a startup run by people willing to give up their phones (with personal information, mfa, passwords, contact point) to an investor event? It seems like the right alternative would be to leave it at home.

Maybe this is my inexperience or overabundance of paranoia but that would be a red flag to me. It takes so little to lose the castle to an adversary...

This was a YC event of other YC founders only (from the current batch). YC founders are overall very high trust of each other.
