YC is great but it's a bit of a hyperbole saying they're driving for "good for the world" and giving chances to the minority/contrarians that wouldn't otherwise get funding.

It would be good to see stats on proportion of ivy league founders or those with previously successful/exited founders in YC. A lot of the applicants are impressive (obviously) and already have a decent chance of getting SV investors- and even more so outside the valley.
