The better (and more accurate) correlation to examine is: are young founders biased towards YC? I am willing to bet that the majority of applications to YC are from young founders. This is reflected in the people who get accepted.

Not to mention I'm surprised you thought you'd ever be able to get a clear answer to such a loaded question on HN.

That's actually a very good point. Also, what is a young founder? Under 25, under 35?

This is the article I was talking about: http://blogs.hbr.org/2014/04/how-old-are-silicon-valleys-top...
