Maybe not the most clear sentence since it leaves out the equity part; it's conveying that it provides seed money plus mentorship/networking in exchange for a modest equity from the startup.

Could be better organized as: "... Y Combinator, the investment firm that plugs seed money (~$18,800) into early stage startups and offers mentorship and access to its ever-growing network of alumni, in exchange for a modest equity (~7%) of the startup."
