Ask PG: Has the percentage of complete pivots changed?

5 points by joshmlewis ↗ HN
It seems like YC is funding more established startups these days, which makes sense when you have more and more to choose from. I was wondering if it was a possible side effect that more companies are staying somewhat with their original application idea since they are more established or is there still a high percentage of companies that completely pivot?

Off the top of my head I'd say not.
Interesting. Thanks for answering. I hope to see you next batch. :)
I know of 4 companies just off the top of my head that were accepted to YC within 3 months of founding.
