I found the opposite to be true. I went to a top tier school but 99% of my connections to the VC world did not come through my MBA network. They came from building good products, YC, and blogging--in that order. Incubators like YC are far better at connecting first-time entrepreneurs to top angels and VCs. And investors are far less likely to be abusive with an entrepreneur that is backed by a good incubator because it would affect future deal flow.
