This is one of the most amazing organizations doing stuff today -- I wish I lived in Austin to participate more. I've visited a few times and am always impressed by the people I meet there (both the "staff" and the fellowship recipients); had the fortune of showing up during the second fellowship demo day and saw some great people/projects, a lot like early YC demo days.

The big difference for us is we're encouraging companies to stay independent. We consider an acquisition by the oligopoly to be a failure.
A quick browse on your site leaves a few questions. You're based in the US but I couldn't see anywhere that it said you were open to approaches from outside the US. There is no description of the size of the grants that I could find, and there's no email to contact you. That information could allow me to rule myself out very quickly which is why I'm asking.
I saw your chat option but for privacy reasons, or paranoia if you prefer I tend not to give out my details to third parties, such as my email which you require to use chat.
If they are there and I didn't see them, that's on me. Thank you.
Incidentally YC has done non-profits as well (https://www.ycombinator.com/nonprofits/) which is interesting.
