I'm really curious how YC will choose which companies get $10k. They don't mention this anywhere.

I'd guess it's probably a combination of which teams are most promising and need the money the most.

They touch on this in the latest podcast. The $10k grants are an experiment to try and increase the completion rate of the program. They assign you with advisors who track your progress.
