I love Crashlytics, it was a great success and continues to be an awesome service. However, this comment highlights my question. Crashlytics was an early "first mover" in this area, has been a goto for developers for years now, and could likely be considered as a "best case" scenario for this type of software. Yet, it was acquired for far less than a billion dollars.

My original comment was in regards to the well known fact that YC tends to invest in companies that have the opportunity to be billion dollar companies. In fact, it's a known question during interviews[1].

So, my question is what do these founders say when asked this question? What possible paths are there to a billion dollars for this type of company?
