When people compare how many companies get into YC vs how many of them become successful companies should understand that beyond what YC brings to startups which is a lot, the success also depends on the founding team execution and the ability to find a market fit, sell and grow the product. I am a first-time applicant and what makes me take the decision was all the great resources YC can bring to my company (advisors, network, knowledge) more than looking at how many big companies or brands went through the accelerator program which is also a way of effectiveness measurement, but for me not the most important.
