Do you know whether the new one month gap between YC acceptance and techstars acceptance will be a problem? E.G. Will the offers explode in a month? In not, when typically?

I don't know; which direction is the gap in?

I believe TS and Dreamit are both making decisions about a month before YC.

TechStars is running programs 5 times a year, so it's less relative anyway. According to http://www.techstars.org/schedule/ there is a batch of finalists notified one month on either side of the YC interviews.

Sproutbox is also choosing in late April.
BTW, Harj acts as a catch-all only for the late applications. He reads on-time applications just like the rest of us.
I don't know yet what effect the Ronco/Yuri announcement will have. It probably won't change how we rank applications.
All the other new YC-like organizations don't currently affect what we do at all, that I can think of. A while ago we complained because some of them were giving people exploding termsheets that expired before the recipients had a chance to come to their YC interview, but that practice seems to have stopped. Now everyone seems to coexist peacefully.
