Now Y Combinator is completely self funded through the money the incubator has made through its investments in startups (i.e. exits) This sounds like an amazing accomplishment! Was this seen as a big milestone for YC?

Sort of, except we started out self-funded too. So it's really like going back to the way things used to be.

If I'm not mistaken the difference is now you're funding with profits and in the past it came out of your own pockets. That's a cool milestone!
