What kind of background should an ideal candidate have? Industry experience or management experience, or both?

I'd say a combination of both industry and management experience is ideal. They'll be the face of Y Combinator for its network, and a well-rounded, diverse background is essential for success.

How many people would apply for such a role at YC? The competition in the startup world is fierce, and I imagine the challenge would be quite high for this position.
