"At Y Combinator, our goal is to get you through the first phase. This usually means: get you to the point where you’ve built something impressive enough to raise money on a larger scale. Then we can introduce you to later stage investors—or occasionally even acquirers."
So most important stat is what % of companies do that. Based on your data it seems (76 + XYZ) out of 716 where XYZ is companies out of 121 exits who raised more money prior to exit.
It'd be interesting to know based on cohort (batch) analysis if YC is getting better in achieving its goal or not.
It'd also be interesting to know where YC stands on this compared to other comparable accelerators/incubators.
