Limiting this to Founder-CEOs may limit their ability to solve some of the problems at hand. Many of these companies post series A may be seeing stagnated growth (This is a 'growth' program). Many companies in this boat may have already gone through founder/CEO/organizational changes that really don't fit this bill. I would just be worried that they are narrowing their pool too much. -Mostly YC Companies -Post Series-A -50-100 Employees -Founder-CEO with 3-4 hours a week that can attend -Company who identifies this as a need for their company (or a board that dictates it)

- Mostly YC Companies That makes good sense from YCs perspective. - Post Series-A This kind of effort would be wasted earlier on, the number of entrants would be too large for that kind of attention to detail and effort required. - 50-100 Employees A growth program needs a set of skills and a certain organizational structure already in place to be effective. - Founder-CEO with 3-4 hours a week that can attend How else would you do this? A video course? - Company who identifies this as a need for their company (or a board that dictates it) Just like YC applications are initiated by the company and start-up school applicants are not conscripted it makes no sense to force this on a party that is not ready to receive the input.
