I don't know if it's a popular opinion to hold but YC has always been a kingmaker from the start. Only when Dropbox filed an IPO and is now worth a bazzilion dollars in the public market most of the media has caught up to their work. To the entire team at YC keep going there are phenomenal startups to come :)

Hey guys, this wasn't supposed to be on the front page. We (Manish, Zach, Kaya, and Lucas) are at the YC hackathon taking place right now. We're building an app that is like MoviePass for different publications. I posted this link here because FB, Google, etc bypass WSJ paywalls but HN doesn't (which we need for our demo).
