Ask HN: How did the YC Fellowships worked for anyone involved?

15 points by imrehg ↗ HN
The YC Fellowships[1] was a very intriguing initiative to engage a new set of people within YC. Smaller funding, allowing remote people to participate, shorter time frame, etc (see the discussion at the time of its announcement[2]). It is supposed to have run from mid-September to mid-November, and as someone who was interested applying (just couldn't, because of personal reasons), I wonder how this first round worked out? I haven't seen any info or opinion published about it yet, either on YC's or on the participants' side, and I'm sure there's a lot to learn! Cheers!

I'd really like to hear more too. Sam Altman tweeted about the first YC Fellowship demo day on Nov. 6, but I don't think the list of companies is published anywhere.

YC founders are generally advised not to discuss/announce their acceptance into the program. That they're better off annoucing it through the press for the biggest effect/impact possible.

It makes sense that you don't hear much from them here on HN.
