Ask HN: Betting on the number of YC Fellowships
6 comments
I thought I read in the FAQ thread a lot less than 120, something like 12.
I think YC would throw 1 - 1.5 M at an experiment.
For ref they do 10x this on YC startups every 6 months.

It was originally supposed to be 20 according to Sam A., but they're supposedly going to let a few more in because they had over 6,500 applicants.
From https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10124308:
Number of companies we offered to fund yesterday for the first YC Fellowship: 32
300 was a cut off, so I'm guessing they sent 50 - 150 interview requests.
I got the worst category of rejection letter ( no re-encouragement to apply in W15, no 300 ).
I think they'll take more than 20.

I'm going to start and say, they will announce 120 fellowships and that I won't be in them nor get an interview. Just a feeling.
If someone wants to create a poll for this, that could be cool.
