I've noticed this with startups, especially Airbnb. When they started YC, they were only about 4 tweaks from taking off like a rocket, but as far as they (or I) could tell, they were dead.

If you saw them as dead, and themselves did so as well, why did you take them into YC? Assuming you couldn’t think they were several tweaks away.

Most startups are dead in the sense of not having any growth yet when they start YC. The only difference with the Airbnbs was that they'd been this way longer.
