What does it mean that the interview process is "decentralized"? Seems pretty centralized to me: only YC partners or friends of partners do the interviews, and they even require traveling to Mountain View in general


Three parallel interview tracks.


How is it determined who is on which of the three interviewer groups? If it's static, is there a group with a higher acceptance rate than others?


They're shuffled, and then afterwards we swap a few to tracks where the people have domain expertise. E.g. most of the hardware startups got moved to our track, because we had Trevor.
