You fund <3% of applicants. Surely this means you are passing up a lot of potential positive value. Just curious, what's the limiting factor for YC in scaling to more companies?
- JoeAltmaier 12y agoApplications continue to grow. So while percentage drops, # sponsored (was/is?) growing.
- outericky 12y agoThere are certainly tangible hurdles to scaling. Namely, number of partners. Quality support, advice is hard to do with a 100:1 ratio. Much better at 10:1. There's also physical space, but as we see, YC is opening up more space so that will scale slowly. But as these companies mature and maybe become partners themselves, that will scale too.
