> This likely means YC gets about $3-5million out of the deal, funding even more startups in the future. :)
I'm fairly sure that YC doesn't recycle the money off from wins, but instead returns it to their investors. YC is a for-profit fund that uses other people's money to give about $20k cash and $20k of training in exchange for 6% of their company.
It hasn't happened. It didn't happen. Sorry to burst your dishonest little bubble.
