As the number of startups increases, is there a risk that most or all of the investors end up chasing the 10-20 best pitches? While perhaps any single company could hold their own in isolation, it seems like they're fighting the others for attention. It must be fascinating to see the distribution of interest between the investors and companies.

- guptaneil 16y agoWhat about before DDay? Do startups within the same batch feel like they're competing against each other, or does everybody manage to get along and help each other out?
