Best analysis I have seen of YC: https://jaredheyman.medium.com/on-the-life-and-death-of-y-combinator-startups-d58aa03421f0 https://jaredheyman.medium.com/on-the-life-and-death-of-y-co... Disappointingly YC hasn't provided any good analysis for founders or employees. YC doesn't try to align founders and investors incentives - Paul mostly reads like a Venture Capitalist to me (sell founders of their good intentions but don't actually structure incentives to align). I actually think that YC is a great deal but startups are naturally a frog and scorpion system. It is hard to find better options. Finding good information is difficult and YC don't help.
