I noted five years back that YC in its early years seemed like School of Rock: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5954 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5954 Now that the tech and investing world has changed, YC seems more like Motown Records. It's worth pointing out that in its early days, Motown used to release records on Chess and other labels, but at some point it naturally just made sense for Motown to become its own label.
