For the experience and connections. There is more to YC than money.

True, but do you know of many (or any) companies that applied to YC while making a cool $100k/month?

I recall seeing some posts about YC startups trending more in the direction of established companies. But what is more important is whether or not going through YC will help them achieve their goal. If YC helps move from $100k/month to $1m/month it is very much worth it.
