Ask PG: Are these YC Enrollment projections official?

3 pointsby pnrover 11 years ago
I couldn&#x27;t help but notice that the ATD piece on PG (http:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;6h8o_GEEEtw) had a chart (http:&#x2F;&#x2F;imgur.com&#x2F;EoqIpqF) showing historical and projected YC enrollment figures till 2015. Are these official YC projections or just something the producer inferred from the YoY growth (~55%?) in YC applications and PG&#x27;s comment about a 3% acceptance rate?<p>Just curious.

They can&#x27;t be official because we don&#x27;t have any official projections. We never know in advance how many applications we&#x27;re going to get, or how many of them will be good enough to fund. We do interviews in 3 parallel tracks; we couldn&#x27;t accept a specific number of startups even if we wanted to.
