YC has been trying a bunch of things new to them. Not sure how they are working out yet:

* Supporting more hardware specific companies.

* Supporting more biomed device tech companies.

* Scaling online with startup school.

* Trying to scale the number of companies who get accepted into the program.

There is still a lot to figure out in the 'nurture small/young companies' space. That said, each country has its own unique challenges.
