Anyone has any idea how much percentage YC has for those companies on average?

  See here: https://www.ycombinator.com/deal/ https://www.ycombinator.com/deal/ It's 7% pre-dilution. Given the value of the companies, however, that's still a solid share.

    Yes. Is there a way to calculate after dilution, or is it impossible without knowing the cap table of each companies?
    • pge 5y ago
      impossible without cap tables, as it depends on how much capital has been raised an and at what valuation

  They take 6-8% when they first invest, but then they get diluted down by later investments, though they also have the Continuity fund that participates in later rounds, so that reduces the dilution. On average it’s probably 2-4% by the time companies get past $1B cap.

  Starts with 7% of (I think) common stock. Then there's dilution on each following round. But I think YC started with the SAFE so they could match in higher rounds (with preference price) and avoid diluting. But I'm not sure at all, someone else might know better.
