what metric would be most impressive from a "FC is the new YC" — number of funding rounds? number of successful new projects that hit a certain milestone?

Building global interoperable roles @ hatsprotocol.xyz | DAOs are the endgame of crypto

given YC companies raise at $3-10m valuations, id say # of project tokens that reach $8m mcap & stay above it

to beat YC, there would need to be 300ish projects that do that every year, we are currently at 10ish?

300 10m mcap tokens is 3B total val which is just 50% higher than ARH across all of farcaster.in (mostly $degen thought). seems doable. 

I see they also list # unicorns and their biggest companies by valuation

2016' class Etherean, The DAO survivor & terminally onchain degenerate regen.

looks like roughly 5% of YC alumni make it to unicorn status, so we need ~15 per year (degen was 1, tho didnt remain so very long 🥲)
