They certainly don't seem to understand how YC works though. They say that YC has a "hands-off approach," when in fact the biggest distinction between us and the others is that at YC the startups are advised by people whose full time job is to advise them, while at most or all of the others they're advised by a pool of people who've agreed to advise a few startups on the side.
- replicatorblog 16y agoThis is another major ding for the Kauffman Foundation, though they were only indirectly involved. For instance, shouldn't exit size/frequency be measured? If so Heroku alone would crush the rest of the competition. Shouldn't there be some kind of rating, rather than just a ranking? Sequential ordering doesn't begin to illustrate the distance between YC/TC and the rest. You were very kind to unkill this.
