Sounds like a desperate scramble to rebalance the portfolio which, reputationally, is far too long of last decade's, now-stalling, strategies. Problem is the brand is not 'hard tech', it's irredeemably soft tech. The brand is consumer biz disruption and social. YC is a short (if only it were listed) just like the rest of the web stack, for reasons of acute oversupply. It is woefully ill positioned on hard technologies. Kudos for trying, though! Heroic effort.
