That's why I am building YC Universe ( http://ycuniverse.com/ ).
The idea is to figure out many of the useful details of the YCombinator "black box". The plan is also to use YCombinator start-ups to get information to debug the start-up experience.
i am not trying to turn YC into a cult, but i do think it's helpful to see how hundreds of founders and their situations turned out. there are some real characters buried in there.
