It looks like 20-25 of the Forbes "30 under 30" are YC founders or otherwise involved in YC - is that correct?

An incredible achievement if so!

Forbes has a number of such 30 under 30 lists - each one linked in the blog post (Consumer Tech, Enterprise Tech, Food & Drink, etc) is a separate list of 30. So the number of people named to Forbes 30 under 30 this year is greater than 30 total.

There are some 20 categories, some selections have two people, and thus it would more appropriately be named 700 under 30.

Does that seem biased to anyone? It is a business-minded publication, and YC founders are obviously above-average, but surely there are other young founders and entrepreneurs who are deserving of credit as well?

There are 30 people in every industry, so it's a lot more than 30 total.

There is at least one other YC co-founder who isn't listed here who made the 30 Under 30 for an unrelated endeavor.
