I don't see how $85B is a sign of failure when there are bigger companies out there. Isn't what's important the return on investment? I imagine that (in terms of paper gains) YC has returned a large multiple of their initial investments in companies.
- codingdave 9y ago> Isn't what's important the return on investment? Well, that depends on who you are. If you are a partner in YC, yes, ROI is your metric. If you are a founder, no, the long-term median value of all YC companies is a far more meaningful metric than YC's ROI. In particular, how much of that value comes back to the founders vs. the investors.
