Your comment being downvoted is quite telling of the founders that are joining YC they are looking at quick exits especially in this high interest rate environments and so are the backers Very few entrepreneurs are looking to create companies that will provide its workers with forever jobs It's sad but those few that are grinding it out and creating jobs, helping economies in those countries run proper are the unsung heroes. Time will tell where this American greed will take Americans but so far, its not looking good.

Sure--if you're looking to do that, you're probably not taking VC and almost definitely not using YC. VC does then choke out nascent companies in the "mid-sized, actually employs people" space if they think there's the potential for a quick buck, by driving it to zero, but the founders trying to do as you describe aren't anywhere near Y Combinator in the first place.

  I don't know why you're saying midsized companies where what I am saying is that you can become the largest companies on this planet by not selling out.

    You have to survive being a midsized company in order to become a large one.

    When it comes to becoming the largest company on the planet, like the Highlander, "there can only be one", and those that fail wind up with their heads chopped off, not thriving in a smaller niche.
