What % of YC startups survive entirely on funding?
Wufoo (Acquired by SurveyMonkey) and Olark have both survived without raising additional funding.
I assume that is what you mean?

I'm wondering if these are the exceptions. I heard something like 98% of YC startups get funding, but how many of them are unprofitable and exist only because of their funding in this bubble period?

Your assumption is that VCs fund YC startups purely because they are YC startups?

My question was not about VC motives. My question is how many YC startups will go bust along with the collapse of the Social bubble.
