Peter Thiel was a principal for a period.

Given his high profile, he should be included in the personnel references, regardless of political differences. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.179.51.10 (talk) 01:17, 13 April 2019 (UTC)

From the Wikipedia Peter Thiel page: "In March 2015, it was announced that Thiel joined Y Combinator as one of 10 part-time partners.[62] In November 2017, it was reported that Y Combinator had severed its ties with Thiel. Quartz said: "While details of the split between [Thiel] and [Y Combinator] remains unclear, the unannounced change also highlights a divergence of views. Thiel is Silicon Valley's most outspoken Trump supporter, ... YC's principals, such as president Sam Altman, have made a point of calling out the threat posed by Trump."[63]" 71.179.51.10 (talk) 01:23, 13 April 2019 (UTC)

Verification Failed for source in intro

The introduction provides basic details about YC and a list of funded companies, sourced to this Forbes article. The article is about a ranking of seed funders, and doesn't include any of these details about Y Combinator. --Spasemunki (talk) 03:04, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

@Spasemuki: Agree; I've updated it to link directly to the Y Combinator page listing those details. Rhs98 (talk) 20:31, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
