40 million is an arbitrary number, but it's still interesting that 7% is also the average YC equity stake.

    The way you justify taking x% equity is by offering to improve the odds of success by at least x%. 40 million is definitely above any basic notion of success, so it would indeed appear that YC is delivering.
