YC Changes

Am I reading this correctly that the $20,000 YC fellowship is no longer available (and therefore the only want to get any form seed funding from YC is once again to move to the Bay Area)?

That said, the MOOC sounds interesting!

What didn't work with the Fellowship, exactly? In light of the dissolution, how did the winners of the Apply HN competition (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11440627) work with the most recent Fellowship class?

Every blog post should have a TLDR like this one.

TL;DR: Michael Seibel will be the new CEO of YC Core, which we are now just going to call "YC". Ali Rowghani is now the CEO of the YC Continuity Fund. I’m going to be the President of YC Group, which includes Y Combinator, YC Continuity, YC Research, and our new online class. We’ll add more organizational units over time. We’re going to replace the Fellowship with a much larger MOOC launching next year.

You buried the lede: a YC MOOC!

I always felt that onemonth.com basically was the YC MOOC. (It is funded by YC, and you see the themes of user first, user research, growth etc running through it).

Not sure if anyone else here knows what I mean.

Will the MOOC be free?

YC is really unique. I expect the MOOC will include a nurturing and/or funding path beyond the courses.
