We’re renaming the YC spring batches from X25 and (what was going to be) X26 to P25 and P26 — P for Primavera, which literally means “first spring” in Latin-derived languages. The original X was a cute programmer in-joke, but people kept asking “what does X stand for?”, so we’re switching to something that actually says “spring” while still keeping it to a single letter.
