On: Ask HN: Copying Y Combinator - If there's a right way, what is it?

I would love to be able to verify that, though I agree it looks to be true. My dream would to get a fairly comprehensive list of startups to come from all of the different programs, and see which of those are a) still in business, b) received follow-on funding, and c) exited.

I know PG has these stats for YC, I'm just curious if he would share.

those stats wouldn't be hard to acquire. There are various lists of all the YC winners. Love to see a comparison of YC vs Seedcamp.

I'm hoping to compile them; I just know that PG keeps accurate records. :)
