With A 50% Increase In Applications, The Next Y Combinator Class Will Be 80 Strong

At TechCrunch Disrupt on Tuesday, Y Combinator's Harjeet Taggar said that the incubator's next class will have at least 80 startups, up from 65 in the prior group. Even though Y Combinator is hosting its largest class ever, it was also the most selective class the incubator has ever had, with just a 2 percent acceptance rate. While Y Combinator grew its class size by about 20 percent, the number of applications increased 50 percent. During the evaluation process, Y Combinator conducted about 285 interviews over three rounds of interview tracts.
