I don't think YC can be sold. Too much of what makes YC special is tied up in pg and interpersonal connections with angels and other investors in SV. I don't think you could just hand off the process to a VC firm or something and expect to get the same level of applicants. Maybe someday that won't be true, and maybe I'm wrong today, but my hunch says that once it's sold, it will begin to decline, and everyone who might consider buying it knows that.
