For example, can I be placed in a cohort with only people who are doing more than $100k ARR?
Low conversation quality and feedback was a pain point for me during SuS. Do you intend to implement any strategies to improve the quality (better matched, not saying anyone is better or worse) of the peers we are communicating with? For example, can I be placed in a cohort with only people who are doing more than $100k ARR?
That said, it still isn't perfect and we have more work planned in that area. We also dropped the requirement for group sessions from 6 to 1 so that folks who don't find them a valuable use of time don't need to keep doing them!
I was in the first version of the MOOC and it was better for me meeting the same people over the duration of the time (currently I believe you interact with different groups each time?). I found it both interesting seeing how people had evolved during the programme as well as not wanting to let people down by being late or not attending. I would suggest using some kind of Karma to improve the experience while still k…
Don't have changes related to that in the current relaunch yet, but it's on the roadmap.
Will there still be the $15k grant consideration if you become certified when you submit your app for the YC Core program?
Great news! Also, thank you and everybody for all your hard work :) Will there still be the $15k grant consideration if you become certified when you submit your app for the YC Core program?
The program was extremely helpful for getting me through to the launch. My product is a moonshot sold to enterprises, so it took an enormous amount of work upfront to get something into users' hands.
The accountability of a cohort was critical for the lonely days of coding something that is both ambiguous and ambitious. Also, constantly being forced to explain my product really helped me hone my message and sales pitch.
I am still friends with some of the people I met back then. I seriously recommend this program to anyone who is starting out.
This seems mostly aimed at SaaS/Uber4X type of startups where you can bootstrap an MVP in a weekend and have a customer by the next one. Where's the content for startups doing innovative stuff in the long run?
Can we also get (I mean this respectfully) a specific answer from YCombinator on who exactly hosts the news.ycombinator.com website? It appears to be the little heard of and quite hard to track down "M5 Security Solutions" also known as "M5 Hosting". What is strange is they do say they do private hosting for the Department of Defense. Can we get an expansion on that relationship? Thank you.
I don't remember how Scott found them, but it was through some HN-sympatico source like an obscure technical mailing list. We wanted to switch providers, and it seemed like a good idea to pick one that appealed to people with similar tastes to us and sympathetic with the spirit of HN. It's worked out great so far.
Weirdly, this is at least the third time that you've posted strangely insinuating posts about how/where HN is hosted:

Three starts to look like an idée fixe. I still can't figure out what the insinuation is supposed to be...no, we're not an intelligence front. I really want to put a joke here, but I suppose it would probably only feed whatever this is, so I guess I'd better not.
