it would be cool to see this after a constant number of years. ie we're seeing the 2012 bar 7 years after and 2018 only 1 year after
it's crazy to see the effect the 2008 crash had on the success/failure rates of YC companies. from: https://www.ycdb.co/ pic.twitter.com/MFcjtwKTGV

He may be referring to W08-S09 specifically where the failure rate does seem to grow significantly, despite the fact that these batches were younger. it's still a bit hard to tell though bc not that much batch data before 08

Ditto. This chart is potentially misleading. Our company (Vetpronto - W15) is listed as an ‘exit’. While we did technically sell the company, it was an asset sale and the company was very distressed at the time. Definitely not a happy ending for investors or founders.

Any data on when these yc companies were founded? Would b interested particularly in W/S 2010 suggesting 08/09 founding date.

I think blaming the crash for the results might be a biased analysis, and more data is required to make this assumption. Look at S06: the results are even worse, in a non-crash year.

The more money you have, the longer you can survive without being profitable - makes absolutely sense

+ there might be a volume effect (more startups, less selective) and funding effect (you can stay not profitable longer). this chart hides so many important dimensions - it is not easy to interpret
