He is spot on, from reading this board it seems like people think you can use a formula to create a successful start-up, just follow YC's template and you will soon be running a successful company. Get a co-founder,produce a slick presentation...etc. If your start-up is really good you should just be able to explain in in a few sentences a swift demo and your done, and if you really believe in it then you should not be going with X other cookie cutter start-ups to chase a few dollars from some company with not exactly a good record. You should have multiple investor's lined up and you should be choosing them not the other way around.
