Hi Sam, I was able to pull some data on these things via Mattermark.
http://mattermark.com/yc-portfolio-stats-mattermark-crunches...267 companies currently have 2 or more employees
8,164 people are currently employed by a YC company [1]
121 companies have disclosed an exit (no IPOs, all acquisitions so far)
66% of YC companies are based in the Bay Area, followed by New York (7%) and Boston (2%)
76 un-exited companies have raised a venture round of funding (Series A or beyond)
There is a nearly 50/50 split between B2B and B2C startups in the portfolio
The average Series A stage YC company has 26 employees and has raised $10.2M of funding in its lifetime.
[1] The total number is probably much higher, many of these companies do not have LinkedIn pages or employees on LinkedIn, Crunchbase, news, and other sources until they are further along. I think an estimate of 9,000 to 10,000 current jobs created by current YC companies is reasonable.
