The monthly hiring threads are already an exception to the way HN works and adding more is probably not a great fit - you'd have to convince the mods and I think they've sensibly been resistant to more of these. Plus YC itself is one giant 'who wants to be funded' operation.
That's all orthogonal to the merits of the idea itself, it's just likely going to be uphill trying to squeeze it into HN.

Yea, that’s kinda what I thought when I saw this question, YC is basically all about getting startups funded, hn is basically in service of that goal, creating a thread specifically to compete with yc doesn’t seem like something hn would do.
- pvg 3y agoI don't think it's the compete-with-ness but the repetitiveness and the not-that-interestingness.
