As far as I know there isn’t a single example of an incubated company going public.
My understanding is that incubators are relatively new. It is not really reasonable to say the lack of IPOs indicate if incubators are successful or not...I believe the first yc class was like 6 years ago. LinkedIn, for example, took 9 years before it IPO'd.

Also, do they need to go public? YC has a handful of partners afaik and they had a bunch of exits in past couple of years.
What will YC gain from an IPO?
