I think there is some risk of that. But commitment isn't static. A lot of incredible companies started with founders who were just toying with an idea and weren't committed at all,…

This is a good way of thinking about it!

Yes, this is an excellent point.

Yes, I think it would.

Whoops - I had a typo! Thank you; fixed.

We might, and I'm sure you're right that there are many great founders not applying to do YC because they don't want to move here. But I think it would be a better analogy to compa…

We announced something today at YC called Early Decision, specifically for students. It's a relatively small change, but we thought people might be interested to hear the thinking …
