If Y-Comb and VC's really care about "the people" that make up a team, perhaps they should consider investing in training founders how to deal with the stresses of the career.
Doesn't make much sense to sink a lot of money into a team and then have a bunch of 20-somethings who struggle with the reality of startup life.

And the cynic in me says the trick is not to sink a lot of money in eg YC only funds a team for a few months. VC's etc can wait to see who survives in the 'sink or swim' game and the follow-on accordingly.
