Succint and straight to the point. You should give a course in "social demythification"... I am serious a lot of people suffer because in such a pragmatical way. I 'll just add that rising to top position is more often than not a question

The other comments are really spot on (Yc as a VC incubator and cost being almost neagative except for the opportunity cost that get it back to zero), But the most often overlooked point is the fact that, thanks to the "almighty facebook",
