The current generation of incubators are derived from the Y-Combinator model, YC didn't start until 2005 after all those companies were founded.
Of the 20 "billion dollar tech companies" founded since 2005, 2 were YC companies and a third was founded by a YC alumni.
So I doubt there's a directly correlation between whether you go through an accelerator and being a huge success.
- quickquestion 14y agoThank you for response ig1 for making that clear. I never knew that YC wasn't started until after the companies were founded. Thank you for the clearing that up.
- 6thSigma 14y agoHow many $20 billion tech companies have been founded since 2005?
- quickquestion 14y ago- I don't know about $20 billion 6thsigma but from this link ~> https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AnrABZ3E0SpidDFMUm1ocFF1ZHBUcHViTk9mQW51c1E&pli=1#gid=0 https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AnrABZ3E0SpidDF... many billion companies have been found. Thank you for your response 6thSigma. I really appreciate it.

- Someone 14y agoHow many companies ever grew to be (inflation adjusted) $20 billion companies within seven years?
