I sometimes wonder how many of these startups made it, and if the success rate inside YC is larger than outside of it (i.e. self funding, crowdfunding etc).
- X4 12y agoAlso curious on that, because as a "company", they will naturally interprete their own statistics the way it's promotable or advantagous for them. The truth is always ugly.
- joeblau 12y agoThis helps shed some light on some of that information: http://yclist.com/ http://yclist.com/
- 001sky 12y agoUseful website, but only 6.57% of YC companies have "died" according to that data. Even for a (beyond) successful fund, that number/dataset seems a bit contrived, and it should perhaps be taken with a grain of salt.
