I have wondered about these companies and always thought they were hyped up, but at the end of the day...are they really that good? I don't think soooo :) YC companies seem cool at the start, but are they really doing anything, besides looking cool? It seems the same type of companies and same type of founders are in YC, not to say many won't continue to be successful, but if I was in the room at the YC office with everyone, the only thing in common would be technology, but it lacks diversity in many ways...many will argue that one and say they have people from all kinds of places, but really same old Ivy league, computer or engineering degrees, started or finished. Got jobs at big names etc etc etc. Boring!!! :) Thats why you see the same style of companies and no big winners cause its only selected by a few people, that probably look for the same traits of people. Is YC a bunch of Paul Grahams? lol
