It's interesting, they invest an average of $15,000 in each company so let's say they have invested somewhere around 6M.

According the the FAQ (http://ycombinator.com/faq.html) they take an average of 6 or 7 percent stake in each company.

For shits and giggles let's use 6%. A low end estimate of their ROI would be around a whopping 174%. Their current holdings of the 7.78 Billion would be around 466 million.

This is all wacky math I realize but it's interesting to take into account how well this fund has done.



You're not taking into consideration the various dilutions and other preferred rights from other investors but all in all - it's clear that this fund will be very successful.
