How does the partnership structure work at YC? What does it mean to be a part-time partner? Do all partners get carry?

It's a flat partnership--we all get the same economics (including me). If you want a salary, it trades off against your equity.

Part-time partners get less equity and spend less time on YC.

Of course, the cash vs. equity exchange rate is a subject of curiosity. :)
