Based on equity packages and outcomes I’ve seen, this video is a total sales video from YC to ICs as an attempt to rouse the hiring pipelines for YC companies in the face of this year’s layoffs. I myself had an offer from a YC company years ago that had some layoffs but essentially outperformed and raised a big Series D/E/F this year. Had I gone with the YC company, my equity even in their big raise would have been about $100k. And no guarantee I could have realized any or all of that gain in the raise. YC could be up-front and give this actual data in the video. Instead it’s primarily a specious talk show segment about how YC wants you the IC to think they’re on your side.
