I used to be super excited about YC from a values standpoint for years. I applied to work for a bunch of YC startups about 4 years ago. What I was generally told was that they never heard of my college or the companies I worked for so I was a no go. That doesn't seem to be fostering diversity, or making the world a better place, or completely separate from the type of bullshit practiced by big companies. (I still like to lurk here because its a good tech news filter, but when YC posts self horn tooting posts its kind of irritating)
