YC is a crapshoot. We had the most impressive metrics in our interviewing class and killer recommendations and didn’t get in. The ones from our interview group that did were astoundingly dumb.

There wasn’t a single successful entrepreneur amongst the “partners” who interviewed us.

Here we are a year or so later flying at 7 figure revenues thankful we didn’t give up nearly 10% of our business to an incubator that’s a shell of its former self.

I've said this here before (I think) and I'll say it again. With almost all initial YC partners leaving and YC getting bigger, they also get more risk-averse, just like any growing business.

Therefore I'm afraid that we will see less and less interesting and "out there" YC companies but more confirming ones.

I'm aware that growing has other benefits for YC and its companies, but I'm personally just a bit sad about this...

Edit: I feel like Seibel is the last interesting full-time partner and I wouldn't be surprised if he leaves within 2 years.

Wow. What's the business?
