Yes I am continuing my role as CEO of the accelerator. We've got a great batch coming up this summer.

I'm curious because this seems to vary greatly between companies - what is the difference at YC between the roles of CEO and President?

From the intitial announcement of Michael becoming CEO:
* Michael Seibel will be the new CEO of YC Core, which we are now just going to call “YC”.
* I’m going to be the President of YC Group, which includes YC, YC Continuity, YC Research, and our new online class. We’ll add more organizational units over time.

For the uninitiated, what is the difference between President, Partner and CEO?

Good question - it is not obvious.
Y Combinator has one president, Geoff Ralston, who is the president of YC Group, the parent organization.
It has two CEO's: Michael Seibel, who is the CEO of YC Core, the twice-a-year program YC started with, and Ali Rowghani, who is the CEO of YC Continuity, the fund that makes large investments in YC companies when they are at a growth stage.
There are 18 full-time partners, who primarily select and then work with the companies we fund.
I'm a bit confused if Michael Seibel is still CEO?
