Ask HN: Who actually reads YC applications?
A recent tweet suggested that YC video submissions are being watched by people outside of the core YC team, sometimes in public.
How are applications processed, and what guarantees are given to applicants that their submission will be kept confidential?
- roh26it 14y agoI'd love to know the answer to this too! Harjeet put in a brief reply on Quora: http://www.quora.com/Y-Combinator/Do-all-YC-partners-read-each-application http://www.quora.com/Y-Combinator/Do-all-YC-partners-read-ea... Lots of answers on the YC board there in fact.
