If TechStars made a video or a paragraph explaining it, and YC actually cut and pasted that into their site, then yes, I would claim that. I'm not knocking TechStars for doing a similar thing. I'm knocking them for copying it line by line (often by cutting and pasting) and not innovating at all. Good businesses often borrow ideas from successful competitors, but they never copy them entirely. They always seek to improve.
