YC, unlike most funds, is dependent on the system for company building and the network of entrepreneurs, not on the partners. This is why it will continue to be successful.

? I got nervous at first that you were leaving. Moving to SF is a massive change for @ycombinator - certainly makes our Demo Day visit a lot easier! https://t.co/cSY7P18w3u

BREAKING news in the investor world today: Sam Altman to step down as @ycombinator president to pursue @OpenAI w/@elonmusk and @peterthiel. We are sure he will be missed in that role, but Altman will remain as chairman https://t.co/PmrVCjlcsF

When @paulg stepped down 5 years ago, @sama inherited a combined market cap of ~$14B. Today he leaves with that number at $150B, and a variety of exciting initiatives. Respect ? https://t.co/QS8MbhBpSv

Hope @ycombinator might consider moving to an #OpportunityZone in SF: “Speaking of San Francisco, we are considering moving YC to the city and are currently looking for space.” @codyevans @peterbrack @LettieriDC https://t.co/JTzTDxRqcp
