I imagine that the regulatory overhead is enough of a reason not to go public. But more importantly instead of asking "why not" I think the real question "why go public". Sure it would be nice if we could all invest in YC (read: make $$$ off pg) and take some of the risk of YC's hands. But I don't think YC is frightened by the risky/volatile environment. YC's business model and prowess seems to be identifying which risky investments to make in a volatile market. Don't forget less risk means lower returns. I have no idea what YC's bank statements look like but I doubt that lack of capital is the most pressing business challenge. Has PG ever compared BRK to YC? BRK seems to invest in companies at a completely different stage than YC.
