disclaimer: no YC experience either. yet i applied for this round.
to me is seems that the ~7% the founders give, yields them more then ~30k + events + coaching + incorporation.
in my view: YC'inng makes the startup (and even any of your future startups) so much more attractive and exposed to potential investors, that this alone justifies the ~7%.
but i have no metrics for this :-) someone?
(i leave out the 3 months that founders "have to" invest as that is something the "have to" invest in order to starup anyway)
