To clarify, I think YC makes a lot of sense for a lot of startups. However, I am not sure if my startup would be a good fit for YC. It is slightly older, already profitable, etc. YC seems to invest really, really early on, which is why 5-10% and a small amount of cash makes sense. However, even though I am not part of YC, I'd love to meet up with fellow SF startups -- I have never found an online community I identify more with than HN. Also, surely many people who give advice to YC startups are not on the payroll and would be happy to talk to me, if I had their contact info. Maybe I'm wrong since I'm not part of the group, but I feel like the identity of "young, full-time startup" is much more important than "young, full-time startup [yc funded]".
