It sounds like some preposterous way to break the speed of light; we'll just accelerate the accelerator, and it's turtles all the way down.
On the one hand, it reduces YC's risk even further, by giving them a miniscule stake in a wide range of companies. But I don't think they would be content with helping the meta-accelerator; they'd want to be hands-on with every node on the tree. That's a lot of time investment with little capital investment, which is not really their bag.
The proposition generally seems less like an accelerator, and more like a small-scale VC fund. Less intensive, less structured, just a way to invest money in startups.
- jacquesm 14y agoThey'd have a front row seat when the companies in 'tier 2' eventually apply. After all YC is a lot more than just cash.
- bwilliams18 14y agoYeah. They could use this sort of thing as a bye or something. It can help them see who is already doing good and interesting work.
