Last week at TechCrunch Disrupt, Y Combinator cofounder Paul Graham took the stage for a highly engaging interview with Charlie Rose, during which he discussed how Y Combinator got started and what exactly they're looking for when they're deciding who to invest in. During the conversation, Graham mentioned that the total value of YC companies is now something like $3 billion "and YC has only invested around $5 million total (their investments are generally around $15,000 each). In other words, they're killing it.Today, Graham has written a more detailed post looking at Y Combinator's numbers, and gives an even larger number for the combined value of the top 21 companies that YC has funded: a whopping $4.7 billion, which puts the average value of YC-funded startups at around $22.4 million. To be clear, Y Combinator's stakes don't add up to $4.7 billion " it generally takes a 2-10% stake in each startup that gets diluted over successive funding rounds. But they've still got a substantial stake in some very big companies.
