We were YC W21. Most of the value in YC comes from the network. We learn a lot from other founders, even if the industry is completely removed.

Also, the batches are now large, but you're often grouped with similar companies during the batch. There's also sub-groups that organically form after the batch, which effectively achieves this goal. We're in groups for developer tools, chrome extensions and YC London startups.

It makes sense to not fragment the overall YC network, whilst allowing close groupings based on sector or Geography to just form organically.
