I feel like at a 7% stake, all of these are wholly unreasonable complaints. 7% of nothing is nothing, and 7% of Google is massive but relatively speaking unimportant. If you get to become a successful business via YC you will be making more than enough money that 7% shouldn't matter. OP uses the analogy that small companies getting wildly successful is the best for the 1%, and that is true, and that YCs rates are great but still very small, which is also true. Then simultaneously implies that even though YC may be your best bet at getting huge, it is still a bad investment. If you want to get to the 1% you need to take all the help you can get
