> Also, during this critical time and considering the importance of YC partners, 10 minutes of partner time is likely worth more than the $1500 to YC.

Yeah, it may be worth more to the interviewee, but I think the OP was pointing out that it may be a waste of YC's time, considering they invest $1500 in the process for only 10 minutes of time with the candidates.

I'm not sure if you agree with me? That's precisely my point: I bet YC values its partners' time at more than $1500. Hence the to YC.

why is it worth more to the interviewee ? meet someone for 10 minutes then fly back to Thailand never to speak or see them again. I think the guy didn't even know the names of many of those on the interview panel. Am I missing something ? Do the interviewers give out their personal contact info, so they can coach his business or something.
