The additional burden of public disclosure and compliance would seem like a deal killer. Not to mention the general loss of "control" that accompanies an IPO.

Plus, raising capital/access to capital doesn't appear to be an issue for Y Combinator.

Why would Y Combinator want to IPO? What possible good could it bring?
