I'm pretty sure YC wants their companies to IPO more than almost anyone else. YC is in the same boat as angel investors. The difference is that YC is sympathetic to founders when they want to cash out vs shoot for the stars.

If it is not explicitely said, (too many essays/videos/interviews about the subject), this is certainly the tone on Hiring is Obsolete: http://www.paulgraham.com/hiring.html http://www.paulgraham.com/hiring.html Also, pg explicitely mentions founders not willing to take a safe exit now instead of an uncertain big exit in a possible future may not be such a good idea (http://paulgrahamsidebar.heroku.com/guidetoinvestors.html#gm_topic_6 http://paulgrahamsidebar.heroku.com/guidetoinvestors.html#gm...) But my question was not regarding YC, but more about angels.
