YC seems to have taken on a lot of partners in the last few years. What does this mean? What do partners do?

YC partners: 1) recruit startups 2) select startups to fund and 3) advise startups. probably 90% of our time is in the third category.

Could you tell us a little more about how they do 1?

Also curious, I thought YC pretty much just took on startups that applied.

Scaling. Like any proper startup.
