That is helpful for someone that is really early or thinking about starting a startup but there is a huge void between that and getting into YC. My assumption is that if someone I know is at a stage that they'd get into YC that they already know about YC and are able to make a better decision to apply or not than me. I've told people about office hours in their city. Something that is helpful and they might not know about.
