  Someone might read that and think you're directly arguing that companies shouldn't get funded if they start in a garage. :) I should have never thought I could try to do something so disruptive and during the long process till now there were many times I wished I could have killed the muse that started it all.

A YC Fellowship is for prototype stage companies and that kind of funding isn't for everyone -- I get that. And I get your concern for exactly what it is: concern. It's valid, really, and I appreciate it. But if I could have done the smart thing and walk away, I would have done it a long time ago.
