- rococode 7y agoI'm curious because this seems to vary greatly between companies - what is the difference at YC between the roles of CEO and President?
- notatoad 7y agoFrom the intitial announcement of Michael becoming CEO: * Michael Seibel will be the new CEO of YC Core, which we are now just going to call “YC”. * I’m going to be the President of YC Group, which includes YC, YC Continuity, YC Research, and our new online class. We’ll add more organizational units over time. https://blog.ycombinator.com/yc-changes/ https://blog.ycombinator.com/yc-changes/
- throwaway13000 7y agoFor the uninitiated, what is the difference between President, Partner and CEO?
- snowmaker 7y agoGood question - it is not obvious. Y Combinator has one president, Geoff Ralston, who is the president of YC Group, the parent organization. It has two CEO's: Michael Seibel, who is the CEO of YC Core, the twice-a-year program YC started with, and Ali Rowghani, who is the CEO of YC Continuity, the fund that makes large investments in YC companies when they are at a growth stage. There are 18 full-time partners, who primarily select and then work with the companies we fund.
