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

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.

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.
