It takes a long time to make a billion dollar company, but with the increased emphasis on traction, I wonder if accelerators like YC are thinking too short term. Would an unknown Justin Kan or Alexis Ohanian even get funded today without traction?

Pretty sure most of the $b companies got there in like 4 years or less.
