    I will forever hold YC in high regard for being one of the few places in this world where someone can gain acceptance (and wealth) on the virtues of nothing more than one’s own hustle and genius

        Lol! That's total #bs-- it's only works for white & Asian males! #yc continues to discriminate against #women & #poc. They are expectionally bad to older #Women, which historical is when #women start #Entrepreneurship! Wake up and smell #reality.

        Look at the numbers. % of grads by gender, race, & age. There is plenty of stories about it, and there is a person collecting them on LinkedIn. I have one that's documented. Until #yc develops an #bias free screening system, it will continue.

        Here's the link to YC's for Summer 2017. Genius is not just for the young, male, white and Asian. YC winter numbers are better but not good enough to validate you statement.https://blog.ycombinator.com/yc-summer-2017-stats/ …

        Not actionable, but above average for realness.

        I've been hearing some strange things about the latest batch of interviews, it's no longer just partners on the final interview panels?

        Hey Austen, a friend of mine said I should reach out. Im currently building a bank and a 2 year college. Are you free for a call today? Also, YC? And yes, the all mighty hustle is king in the world of the hamster wheel grind we call life.
