With the numbers of startups growing with every batch. Do you think it dilutes the value Y Combinator provides?

I wonder if pg and YC partners would be able to give enough time and attention to 62 startups.

YC brand and alumni network is stronger than ever. YC is great at scouting great entrepreneurs at early stage. At this point YC may be acting as a filter for investors.

The big question is, Will YC still the advisory role to create great products? or Is it now a funding school that provides a brand and access to Angels and VCs?

Would love pg, YC partners or alumni to chime in on this.



Currently the request queue for office hours is empty, meaning everyone who wants to meet with us has been able to. We have capacity for more office hours this week and will be adding more. PG added office hours for this afternoon, with more slots than there were requests in the queue. Things seem to be working so far.
