Silicon Valley startup incubator Y Combinator plans to increase the number of cohorts it runs each year from two to four starting in 2025, Bloomberg reported Thursday.
Y Combinator president Garry Tan told the site that despite the changes, the number of companies going through YC each year will remain roughly the same, meaning each cohort will be about half the size it has been in recent years. Doubling the cohorts will mean doubling the demo days, Tan added, giving investors more time to meet with startups.
The upcoming fall program will begin on September 29th, just a few days after the summer program's Demo Days on September 25th and 26th.
TechCrunch has reached out to YC to confirm.
