These guys appear to lack both technical backgrounds and start-up backgrounds. They're backers not hackers. Could be useful for some businesses, but for consumer web startups the YC approach and team seem far more relevant.

The startup founders will bring technical backgrounds to the table; they don't need advisors who can tell them how to build things, they need advisors with insight into what to build and how it can be turned into a company. The combination of technical founders with product-guy advisors could be quite formidable.
