Y Combinator is still paranoid (re-run)
In preparation for another Y Combinator Demo Day, we're throwing it back to Alex and Natasha's interview with Michael Seibel, current YC Partner and Managing Director of YC Early Stage. The trio discussed how was YC evolving to meet a changed market and top trends from the 2022 summer batch.

Show Notes
While the Equity crew prepares for another Y Combinator Demo Day, we're throwing it back to when Natasha and Alex caught up with current YC Partner and Managing Director of YC Early Stage, Michael Seibel. The main question on the pair's mind was how is YC evolving to meet a changed market?
Seibel doesn't often do press -- and neither does YC -- so the interview was used to connect the dots on news from the accelerator, cross check top trends from the 2022 summer batch and ask about some of the biggest critiques people have about the institution.
We went a bit long, but figured it was worth it given the way the conversation was going.
As always, we'll be back with our weekly roundup on Friday, and don’t forget that Equity is opening this year’s Disrupt. We’ll see you there!
