YC appears to be spending all it's time marketing itself on Twitter and pretty much all the partners, including the lead have companies that were acquihired i.e. failures

Class size of 7 = quality, class size of 300 or whatever = noise filter

But they again only need that 1 company to be the 1000x and return LP capital at a decent multiple. Any pool of their batch size is likely to produce that and allow them to self platitude after the fact.
