YCombinator os from Lamda calculus, a function that starts other functions.
I have been thinking a lot about throw(). A function that returns control to the user after a program goes into error.
- pnut 11y agoI get what you're saying, but it's a little binary.
- vonklaus 11y agoI love Y Combinator, I think they are solving a big problem. Starting new great companies is super important. However, a fund to kill bad large companies would be great as well, specifically rent collectors and trolls. YCombinator funds small companies and the successful ones typically do some of that by default just by solving a problem those companies overlook. It would not be mutually exclusive in my mind, that a separate fund could support stopping bad companies either by the regular VC model under a mission, or by forming a meta-company that unites a few small companies under a single umbrella and mission. I assume starting a VC fund/company specifically designed to stop specific companies or industries from succeeding is not particularly "investable" and unlikely to take off, but it is an interesting thought experiment. While YCombinator/Accelerators fund companies solving some of the problems big players miss, another company tries to dethrone them and let the space fragment.
