The title will probably be reverted to the original, but the current one [1] is much clearer.

[1] "YC nonprofit One Degree (YC W14) is breaking the cycle of poverty"

Hey there, it's Rey from One Degree. Can you clarify what you mean? Thanks!
Hi Rey! Thanks a lot for responding. I didn't realise it was you who submitted it, I simply noticed that the title under which you submitted it is different - and much better - than that of the article. Usually in cases like this, an HN admin will change the title to that of the original. I don't know if they will do that even if it was you who submitted it, however.

Keep up the great work, I really hope you will succeed!

Thanks for the encouragement, Bart! We hope so too...
There is a policy of not editorialising link titles, e.g. ordinarily an admin would amend the title to match that of the linked item, i.e. "YC-Backed One Degree Is A “Yelp For Social Services” That Helps Low-Income Families"
Ah I see. Thanks for letting me know... 1deg.org is so much more than a "Yelp for Social Services," and we're aspire to make sure that all families can break the cycle of poverty. But you're right. Someone at HN will probably change the title.
