This is a duplicate (probably why you submitted page 2) but worse than that it's just pandering for pageviews.
1) YC comes in at #1 because $7.8 billion in value, where by value they mean the valuation on termsheets and more specifically they're talking about Dropbox and AirBNB.
2) TechStars wins 2nd place based on a different metric, 73 of their participants raising a total of $134m between them plus they helped other incubators.
3) DreamIt get 3rd, or "DreamOt" as they also spelt it - potentially using the valuation metric but this time of just one startup - Scvngr raised $15m at a $100m valuation
4) AngelPad win 4th place using yet another method... they were founded by a bunch of ex-Googlers
etc.
