Another greate option for training people during growth are the Harrison Metal classes, starting with General Management. If you are a first time manager (or even a seasoned one!) in a growing startup, its an invaluable crash course in business.

How strict is the employee headcount? Seems like it would have excluded the lean WhatsApp's of the world

Something tells me that they'll be flexible if you have 300m DAU :)

Curious why Y Combinator doesn't open this up to all startup companies just not the small % that went through YC already.
