I am curious about how many applicants are they getting in this round, S16. Also what kinds of companies are YC most interested in nowadays, given their accumulated experience, and the current market conditions.
It's too early to tell how many will come in for S16, but what we're looking for hasn't changed. We like smart, tight-knit teams who are effective and resourceful and have a track record of getting things done. In this batch (W16), there are companies in almost every category -- from enterprise software to biotech to aerospace.
