YC is obviously very successful and has funded a total of companies worth over $100B. It makes sense that, if you have something that's working, you expand it.

I see the latest offering of another new early interview round in NYC as proof of this. As a YC applicant myself, I'm glad that they want to fund more companies.

I get your point. I was part of the YC startup school last year and it was a very good learning experience. but I was wondering that if they scale, would it be the same value? years ago companies had a lot of mentoring from the leaders at YC like Paul Graham etc,. but will now Michael Seibel and team be able to closely work with 200+ companies and have this close relationship? I am pretty sure they're awesome but I have a feeling it wont be the same program it used to be.

YC's total investments represent $100B in valuation today. There's no evidence that they can't scale that.
