Thanks, You mention these three "categories" that I could possibly grade companies on. That sounds rather interesting. How would you suggest I get data or a system to grade these? Also, do you really think that Dropbox and Airbnb are the only A+ companies? dont you think that companies not worth a billion dolars can still have been successfull in all categories and maybe just didnt have as large of a market to tap into?

I actually meant Airbnb/Dropbox were A+ on Product/Market/YC utilization not the three things YC does for you. As for how to create interesting research maybe you could setup a simple survey and let HN users grade YC startups in some way like this. I bet the results would be at least interesting.
