YC is really demonstrating thought leadership here. It would be super exciting if we started to see overlap between Y Combinator and the effective altruism movement (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective_altruism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective_altruism), which is people who are trying to make the world a better place in the most effective way. (I do for-profit startups but am also involved in the EA movement. Please contact me if this is interesting to you.)
