Y Combinator Core's CEO [1] is African-American, and he posted this to HN in the past 2 days (as well as submitting the main article): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23380748 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23380748 I know from having been in the YC community for over 10 years, that a lot of effort goes into identifying and supporting startups founded by PoC and/or servicing particular needs of PoC communities, as well as raising awareness and providing education with a view to increasing startup participation and success among PoC in the long term. I know they wish they could do more, and that they keep working to figure out ways they can do more. Individual partners are supporting the cause in their own way (YC chairman Sam Altman posted in Instagram earlier).
