Just looking at how most have done since going public , most VC backed companies including YC are just exiting and finding the “bigger fool”. YC has done phenomenal for itself. For the public that bought at IPO - not so much.

If you invested equally in all YC companies on their IPO day, you would now be down 49% compared to the +58% return of the S&P500!
14 of the 17 companies lost money for the investor, and 3 companies lost more than 99% of their IPO value.
Only one company ended up beating the S&P 500 benchmark
