> Altman mentions laser like focus at time when referring to how startups should function. The same doesn't go for YC? It does. Sam mentioned in an interview (can't remember which one) he sees YC as a meta company, like Alphabet. So it makes sense to broaden the type of companies YC is interested in. Note that YC itself is not directly working to solve the problems mentioned in the RFS. They are funding companies that solve them. So the laser like focus exists at the individual startup. TL;DR It makes sense to expand focus, being a meta company.
