Number of companies funded by YC that have shut down: ~300

Does this include aqui-hires?

Also, would you know how many companies rejected by YC are worth more than $1 billion? Zero or non-zero? :)

Why would it include acqui-hires? Companies rarely broadcast the fact that they're acqui-hiring, so it's not always a black-and-white issue.

Also, saying a company was acqui-hired makes a VC look less successful, so they have an incentive not to be honest about it.
