It’s time to play the Y Combinator valuation game again. YC founder Paul Graham tweeted out the latest stats on the early-stage startup accelerator, saying that companies who have passed through the program now have a combined valuation of $14.4 billion, with the total amount raised topping $2 billion.
The last time Graham announced Y Combinator stats was back in October, when total valuation for the 511 companies that had gone through the program up to its Summer 2013 class was $13.7 billion. The new numbers include that class, bringing the total number of companies Graham counts to 564.
YC stats: Total val $14.4b/564 cos to s2013 = $25.6m avg. Total raised $2.09b/564 = $3.7m avg. Days since contact with median co: 21.—
