> since pretty much every VC in the valley needs access to the YC dealflow Do they though? It seems every demo day some VC posts up a blog about how they are not fans of demo day anymore for X, Y and Z reasons and that they're no longer attending. Don't get me wrong YC is great and all but you make it sound like most of the VCs need YC but so many companies outside of YC get funding I'm not convinced that's even close to the truth.
