Do all the startups get the ~$80k VC money? And is that at the beginning of the batch or at the end?

(This part isn't mentioned like the $14-20k funding is http://ycombinator.com/apply.html)

Everyone is offered it; as far as I know everyone has always taken it. I got mine around early July of the summer batch; I assume it's roughly the same still. If you really needed it early I'm sure you could arrange that.
