40 million is an arbitrary number, but it's still interesting that 7% is also the average YC equity stake.

#7The circle jerk never stops, does it? Anyone want to post the visualization of various amounts of cash that front paged a couple months ago?
This kind of blind worship of money makes hackers look like wise-guy could-have-been doctors but instead were lazy and decided to make a business around popular markets for some dollars.

#8I'd rather know the sum of the valuations of all 511 companies (with the ones tha closed down valued at zero of course).
while I am making wishes, I'd also like to know what percentage of that total valuation is owned by cofounders rather than investors.

#9After meeting the Rap Genius guys, I'm not at all surprised they were over $40mm valuation.
