Most YC companies have at least two founders. Many have three.
PG's language here:
In the current YC batch, 16 out of 68 companies, or 24%, have female founders.
is ambiguous.
If we assume for the moment that the average YC company has 2.5 founders, this statement could vary between the 24% number quoted (when all of the cofounders are women) and 9% (where only one of the cofounders is a woman).
It'd be helpful to have that clarified.
- nicklovescode 13y agoIt sounds to me like the latter(9%) but does that matter much? The point seems to be that it is roughly twice their calculated industry average, which presumably uses the same metrics.
