This article is from 2013... that's why it's missing Ethereum et al.

This article seems to be done without any significant research there is OYO Rooms, Ethreum and many more founded by Thiel foundation alumni which are unicorns

Ethereum is currently worth &gt;$83B<p>The 50 biggest YCombinator companies are worth $100B [0], so I&#x27;d argue the project does really good.<p>[0]: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.ycombinator.com&#x2F;2017-yc-annual-letter&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.ycombinator.com&#x2F;2017-yc-annual-letter&#x2F;</a>

I think it looks like were going to be able to get the author on this thread. So we can get an understanding as to why.

Really? According to my research Vitalik, the founder of Ethereum, was accepted into that program. Arguably Ethereum is the only 10B+ product - worldwide! - founded in the last 4 years.
