How would you like to become equal to the years of thinking and trying by just throwing some money?

Basically, what companies like YC do is looking at you, and thinking to whom they will sell you - they are evaluating a few exit strategies. Money usually isn't a problem. Ability to meet the right people and negotiate good terms are.
