Can anyone explain how does YC's business model works? They seem to keep adding several more partners often. I would guess the current toll should be more than 50. Do these partners also invest their own money in YC or no?
- TheMakeA 12y agoNot sure where you got the number 50 from. There's a list of all of the full-time partners on the site[1], adding the ones today for 17, plus another handful of part-time partners (6 or so?). As far as I know, the partners help choose the startups to fund and advise them. I don't think they invest their own money (except maybe after Demo Day[2]), but choose how to invest YC's money at the start of each batch.

- suyash 12y agoGot it, yeah 50 was just a total guess.
