Lots of interesting info.
I'm also interested in how the switch from 4 founding partners, to 20 partners has affected what kind of companies they accept. Seems to be far more B2B and marketplaces, whereas before there was more B2C.
Also seems to have been a strong shift toward later stage investing, now that the funding amount has increased beyond 20k.
- ivankirigin 11y agoI think the interview process is really similar. They just have multiple tracks. There are 3 to 5 partners in the room. They've refined it, but in spirit it is really similar. I think companies are getting later stage because YC's reputation is better.
- solve 11y agoI edited my comment. What I meant to say was the application acceptance step, not the interviews.
- ivankirigin 11y agoThere do seem to be a lot of B2B companies. There are certainly a broader range of companies. I should have written about this more. The number of biotech companies is staggering. I don't know anything about that tech, so they all look the same to me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
