We get asked (a lot) for statistics on the YC portfolio about valuation and fundraising.  Although these are very imperfect indicators of success, here they are.

All of these companies actually went through a YC batch and got their start with us (e.g. we do not include Quora).

Also, the YC application for the next batch opens tomorrow! 🙂

Total money raised by all YC companies: >$7 billion

Number of YC companies worth more than $1 billion: 8 [1]
