SV startups I've always felt are significantly less derivative than any other business that I've ever known. 99% (or whatever) of businesses started are another bank, Mediterranean restaurant, carpet cleaning company, franchise, etc. that are exact clones or nearly anyway of the same company in the next town over. If by her scale there is no innovation in SV and YC then its just not happening anywhere. She's just dealing with an unrealistic expectation of the speed and efficiency of innovation.
