"Y Combinator has funded 1,500 startups"

Really?

  http://www.ycombinator.com/press/ quotes 1297 startups
  http://www.seed-db.com/accelerators/view?acceleratorid=1011 has 1069 companies (+ ~100 from the S16 class) for ~1200 in total
Where do the extra companies come from?

Would you have been as mad with 1703? How many were in the most recent batch? I have no idea, but 1500 seems close enough to me for a non-specific number.

There's close to 110 companies in the current batch, that just had demo day last week.
