I think it's certainly better then when you hear about a 10% survival rate for startups, as stereotypical as that is. But you're right, it could be better. PG mentions a 90% survival rate is possible.

Yes, but the 10% figure is quoted for startups who don't have the advantage of YC's network and PR status.

Perhaps that's an obvious point, but I think it's an important one.
