This is great news for education tech. Also very interesting that YC is focusing so heavily on the "education vertical". Can't help but wonder if this is only the first such consolidation. Could easily imagine YC joining forces with other vertical accelerators that have deep expertise and networks in things like synthetic biology, hardware, food, etc.

In the hardware vertical YC has also partnered with Bolt [1][2][3], but that seems to be a partnership rather than acquisition, and I'm not sure if Bolt considers themselves an accelerator.
