It seems like a lot of YC startups have more partners than competitors, but maybe those are just the ones most visible to me, e.g. disqus, clickpass, tipjoy. Snipshot, one with a lot of competition, still has more than twice as many partners as competitors. The only YC company I know of that was stopped by competition was Kiko, and its competition was not a small startup.
