Paul Graham on Y Combinator

May 3rd, 2008 Posted in Entrepreneurship, Metrand Unplugged, Silicon Valley, Social Media, Startups, Venture Capital

Following on from our Metarand Unplugged session with recent Y Combinator graduate, Omnisio, here is an interview of YC’s founder, Paul Graham.

The comment I love the most: in asking for a median 6% equity from participants in the YC program, founders should grok that this effectively means Paul and the team have given quid pro quo by achieving a 6.4% improvement in a participant venture.

I’d imagine that this point is reached by the end of the first day of the program!
