I would be interested hearing about the cost/benefit analysis from YC funded groups after they have been funded and/or moved on. The only way to move beyond subjective and hypothetical judgements like we're making is (obviously) to measure tangible success. Just like how various scientific fields are painfully aware of 'survivor bias' and maintain journals devoted solely to the topic.

It is likely not in the economic interest of these groups to say anything negative about YC, even if they have moved on.

That would still be subjective anecdote. The only non subjective you have to go by is this. Many people have decided that YC good for them.
