YC benefits strongly from network effects; the value for each founder grows superlinearly with more founders. Grow faster!

A very straightforward way that this manifests: when a VC funds a developer tooling company, all their other portfolio companies are strongly encouraged to use it. Built in customers! The test is how much revenue you can actually bring in from outside the VC bubble.
That's true but there's also a countervailing dilution effect. Hard to know exactly where those two lines intersect.
