tl;dr: The "Small Bets Newsletter" says YC isn't suitable for small bets.

YC isn't designed for small bets! That's not their thing. It would be interesting to see stats on non-huge exits though, some kind of distribution showing the following with a time element, indicating, say, the number of months for various outcomes.

Huge exits 1.25% (define huge), Exit exceeding YC's investment, YC investment repaid, YC investment partially repaid, YC investment entirely lost
