I wonder what the logic is behind this? Is it getting too costly to educate people in person? Is this as effective as in person? >Those companies will also receive a video interview with a YC partner later in the year for advice or aid in applying to a future YC batch. I laughed at that comment due to how it shows how competitive it is to get into YC.

We wanted to create a program with content that would be helpful for any new founder/startup, regardless of where they are. It's not meant to replace the in-person YC program (that's still our core offering). Think of it as a crash course in starting a company. Just because you can't make it to the Bay Area doesn't mean you shouldn't have access to advice and community! We just want to help startups be better startups.
