10% WoW Traction Growth the New Standard according to YC? (I will not promote)

I usually ignore statements coming from YC at first (not out of disrespect but they represent such a minuscule segment of the startups I work with). But I do wait to see what catches on with the rest of the startup community. Lately I’ve been hearing that they said their startups are achieving 10% WoW growth, especially with AI. For you old fogies like me (in startup years) there was a time that if you hit 10% WoW growth (in a meaningful metric) that was a major deal. Only a small percent of startups achieved it at early stages. With this growth graph you could get investor attention pretty easily. What do you think? A new base standard? Usual hype from the “elite?” A self-fulfilling prophecy? Full disclosure: I’ve always told startups to aim for 10% WoW. But if it’s no longer special… well, do I need to rethink this? (I predict some spicy responses on this one, but it should be a fun conversation. But I am genuinely curious and serious about what the sentiment is, especially if you’re an investor that’s been around.) Edit: I was informed that there’s a podcast episode where this was mentioned along with more context, which is important. I didn’t hear this in the podcast, but repeated in other places. Feel free to add what you know about the context.
