Obvious retort: YC is not just about the attention of PG and Friends. The summation of prestige, money in the present and, likely, in the future, and YC network alone still put a company in a different world. Question: Will YC pick people who need heaps of attention just to succeed? (My) Answer: Probably not. YC people are called "relentlessly resourceful" for a reason. They will succeed somehow with or without hours of coaching and mentoring by the YC folks. This probably translates into less office time than you would expect from 60+ companies. But I've never been through it, so I don't really know the answer. There are some brilliant people I've met who couldn't do the simplest of things. What little attention a group needs in one area might be made up for in another. edit: a sentence had no subject.
