It does matter because you misunderstood (like your first sentence in your first comment said). Every company that gets into a YC batch is still invested in by YC. You cannot be in YC without being invested in by YC.

What's changing is the follow-on investments are not automatic. It used to be they would automatically exercise their right to maintain their 7% stake by investing more. Now they're going to maintain a smaller stake, and it's not going to be for every company. Only about 1/3rd of them.
