After parting ways with Twitter back in June, Ali Rowghani has found a new (part-time) home: Y-Combinator.
YC has just announced that Rowghani will join their ranks as a part-time partner, with his time mostly to be spent on helping later-stage YC alumni scale things up.
Writes YC President Sam Altman in a post announcing the addition:
I’m delighted to announce that Ali Rowghani is joining YC as a part-time partner. He will mostly focus on helping our alumni that are a few years out of YC scale their companies, but I’m sure the current batch will enjoy getting to know him as well.
Though we’ve traditionally focused on helping very early-stage companies, our successful companies have asked for help on topics like scaling operations, managing hypergrowth, building out management teams, etc.
Rowghani was the Chief Financial Officer at Pixar from 2002 to 2008. He moved over to Twitter as its CFO from 2008 to 2012, at which point he served as the company’s Chief Operating Office until his departure earlier this year.
With that, I believe that brings YC to a total of 22 partners, counting both full and part-timers.
The full-time list: Sam Altman, Paul Buchheit, Dalton Caldwell, Paul Graham, Kevin Hale, Aaron Harris, Justin Kan, Jessica Livingston, Kirsty Nathoo, Alexis Ohanian, Geoff Ralston, Garry Tan and Qasar Younis.
The part-time list: Adora Cheung, Patrick Collison, Elizabeth Iorns, Andrew Mason, Ali Rowghani, Yuri Sagalov, Emmett Shear, Michael Seibel and Harj Taggar.
