You're already comparing unlike samples. The base rate for startup success is constrained by ... starting a startup. Folk who rock up to the YC offices are already self-selecting into that group.

I think a better measure would be wealth net wealth at particular intervals -- 5 years, 10 years, 25 years, 50 years.



Consider applying for YC's Fall 2026 batch! Applications are open till July 27.
