It's not just that YC is seen as better; by the numbers alone they offer the best outcomes of any of the micro incubators/micro seed stage funds.

  I would love to be able to verify that, though I agree it looks to be true. My dream would to get a fairly comprehensive list of startups to come from all of the different programs, and see which of those are a) still in business, b) received follow-on funding, and c) exited. I know PG has these stats for YC, I'm just curious if he would share.

    those stats wouldn't be hard to acquire. There are various lists of all the YC winners. Love to see a comparison of YC vs Seedcamp.

      I'm hoping to compile them; I just know that PG keeps accurate records. :)

  Couldn't that be partly because YC has had a head start, and its companies have had more time to grow than the newer micro incubators?

    That's certainly one of the reasons that the numbers are so favorable.
