Does this include aqui-hires?
Also, would you know how many companies rejected by YC are worth more than $1 billion? Zero or non-zero? :)
- smt88 11y agoWhy would it include acqui-hires? Companies rarely broadcast the fact that they're acqui-hiring, so it's not always a black-and-white issue. Also, saying a company was acqui-hired makes a VC look less successful, so they have an incentive not to be honest about it.
