Of course there’s a lot of nuance there. But certainly we can all agree on two things:

1. YC has not had good returns because it has only had one IPO (apparently selling Twitch and Cruise for $1B each don’t count as a win?)

2. While it’s difficult to know what the true value of YC companies is, the fact that there are nearly 100 companies valued at $100m+ is not just a “vanity metric.” Especially st the later stages of more mature companies there are real dollars trading hands and there’s more liquidity available on secondary markets.

Sure, I agree with those two points.
