I wasn't suggesting that they would be bad advisors; and, maybe even public personas are non-essential. However, I am looking at their bios, and one thing stands out: none of them have any hacker cred. The have JDs, MBAs, they were CEOs, CTOs, government officials, advisors, partners in large corporations, etc, etc. Please do not interpret me as saying that somehow I consider these positions to be unimportant - that's not what I am trying to say. What I am trying to say is that they give off a qualitatively different impression than YC does.
