It looks like 20-25 of the Forbes "30 under 30" are YC founders or otherwise involved in YC - is that correct? An incredible achievement if so!

- ssharp 12y agoThere are 30 people in every industry, so it's a lot more than 30 total.

- calinet6 12y agoDoes that seem biased to anyone? It is a business-minded publication, and YC founders are obviously above-average, but surely there are other young founders and entrepreneurs who are deserving of credit as well?
- pulakm 12y agoForbes has a number of such 30 under 30 lists - each one linked in the blog post (Consumer Tech, Enterprise Tech, Food & Drink, etc) is a separate list of 30. So the number of people named to Forbes 30 under 30 this year is greater than 30 total.
- nirmel 12y agoThere are some 20 categories, some selections have two people, and thus it would more appropriately be named 700 under 30.
- aqme28 12y agoThere is at least one other YC co-founder who isn't listed here who made the 30 Under 30 for an unrelated endeavor.
