Does YCombinator have an Institutional Review Board?

Musing about this study, it feels like it could very much run aground with some of the ethical concerns regarding consent that have dogged some studies with high participation incentives, in that withdrawing from the study potentially represents a financial catastrophe, so participation in the study becomes less than fully consenting.

Y Combinator does not have an internal IRB, but we will absolutely go through an external IRB.
