A 7m pitch for TechStars... 2m for AngelPad. What about YC?

Back in YC S'08 pitches were between 5-6m. Now with so many teams I believe they're around 2m.

AP had 12 teams demoing, and TS had 10. How many teams at YC?

Back in '08 there were around 21 teams, now I believe there are around 60 teams.

They brought them down to 2m, and then back up to 2.5m for the most recent batch. I heard it mentioned that 2.5m was discovered to be the sweet spot.
