I doubt it. YC shows the way, you've got to walk the walk. You are seriously underestimating Sam.

- wallflower 19y agoI don't know Sam personally. I wasn't intending to downgrade Sam here. Never meant to imply that getting into YC was like a silver-spoon, charmed-type experience for business success. When I said "Loopt", I meant Sam and his co-founders. I think we could see Loopt in MSM (Time magazine).
- ashu 19y agoOh yes, I did not take your statement in any negative light. I was just responding to the claim about how much of a role YC would have played in establishing a lot of these relationships. My guess is it was Sam's hard-work and business acumen (at least early on) that created all these opportunities. (Ntw, I don't know a lot about Sam personally, and I am not basing this on PG's judgement of Sam either.)
