Most of the feedback here is focused on what are the ends of this program. The important part is the means. The world has unlimited space for great innovators.

Ycombinator is a great program but no program has unlimited resources. These students are codifying activity that would be happening on their campus anyway, and cutting through the bureaucratic steps that are usually inherent in anything that happens on a university campus. I expect to see more collaboration in the future. Right now most of the 'seed accelerator' programs don't collaborate with each other. However, many of these programs will eventually become friendly with each other just like rival fraternities and universities literally play ball with each other. At this level of investment I believe the higher wisdom is that the rising tide lift all ships vs a zero sum game.
