It can be held honestly. I don't think it's productive to say another commenter can't possibly believe something I don't believe.
In either case here's a better starting point. There are batch stats https://www.ycombinator.com/blog/yc-summer-2020-batch-stats https://www.ycombinator.com/blog/yc-summer-2020-batch-stats
that can be referenced against the founder directory.

- abtinf 3y agoA belief is honestly held if it is based on your best ability to apply reason to facts. A belief is dishonestly held if any other consideration comes between you and reality--that is, if you evade. You could choose to not carefully think about the issue. You could choose to treat something as a fact when you don't have evidence for it. You can be honestly mistaken, perhaps due to a lack of knowledge and an error in logic. In those cases, you change your view when the correct facts and method are made available to you. You can also be dishonestly mistaken. Example: adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse, who were victimized by a stepfather or their mother's boyfriend, often report that their biological parent blames them for "stealing" the affections of their abuser. Blaming the victim for the abuse they suffer is clearly a belief that cannot be held honestly.
