One thing that YC has that no other's can get, Paul Graham. It only makes sense that the seed funding companies are headed by people who've created products in the same area that their potential applicants are in. PG made a web application, which is why I think the majority of successful companies out of YC (from what I've seen) are web application companies. The leaders of YC know how to encourage the growth and profitability of web applications. This "YC Clone" has quite a bit of business big wigs, but only a few technical types (AOL and Xfire come to mind). It seems like these would be the people who recommend that you hire a "businessman" CEO asap, accept millions more than you need in funding, and sell enterprise-oriented products only. Really, who wants to make another AOL?
