Hey Sam, thanks for your reply. I understand your point of view, but surely, asking them on a yearly basis for example shouldn't take up that much time. At the end of the day, we're talking about figures that any founder should know out the top of their head (maybe not to the dot but at least a rough estimate). I agree that it should benefit the companies too, don't get me wrong. Ps. Please say hi to Lachy next time you see him! Ps 2. Not sure why this is being downvoted, but whatever!

That's an individual decision, but this is really about a decision-making algorithm. If YC asks founders for revenue numbers in this case, that implicitly endorses the idea of taking up founder time in any other case with higher RoI. That can add up really quickly, and presumably YC doesn't want to set the threshold that low.

  For a cult that asks founders to attend weekly dinners I'm sure they can ask for simple statistics once a year that takes 5 minutes.
