I wish this were a continually updated thing after each batch. Some other trends I'd love to see: team sizes (mean/mode/median). Capital raised pre-YC. Revenue

  I think you would need to have two separate stats: one for number of founders and one for team size. Some companies might already have employees that are not founders but the YC application only refers to founders IIRC. The data I would like to see would be industry related but there isn't a specific dropdown for that and would be hard to do with keywords. I'm surprised that more than 2.5% of applications are looking to enter spaces that Uber is either in or the applicant thinks Uber is going into. I suspect that is more due to Uber's distribution potential than their transportation business but really don't know. Definitely surprised it is half of Google in the fear factor. You have one seriously impressive HN profile.
