YC by the Numbers: 2005–2023

Looks like YC is dying in the last two years. Perhaps their offering is not as attractive as it used to be anymore. And the funding appears to have dried out. No wonder for the first time in many years we saw multiple posts reminding people to apply.

Would be interesting to see a time to exit histogram. Estimating from the current status chart it seems like every 4 years about 25% will exit.

That was interesting. I expected the 2020/21 cohorts to be more exuberant, but it seems I was not correct in that assumption.

Awesome work! Would love to see exit stats / multiples.
