Would Steve Jobs have applied to Y Combinator?
Do we have empirical data that YC doesn't get most of its returns from incremental exits? I thought that the hallmark of the YC model was its diversification along the long tail of founders, freeing it from the 10-bagger trap of traditional VC.

given neither dropbox nor airbnb was sold yet, would they classify as "returns" yet? It seems more like unrealized profit to me...
