What would be really great is to have a 'YC of ...' in each different area. For instance, New York could be the YC of Finance (e.g. startup: private equity exchange), LA the YC of entertainment (e.g. startup: low-budget TV show delivered through the web), etc. They needn't be about SW/webapps, but whichever area they focus on should be cheap enough to at least prototype something.
Within just the SW/webapps space, it doesn't much sense to have a YC clone in every US city. But it still would make sense to have a YC clone in -say- India or China which focuses on the unique needs of its market. (I suspect these already exist but most of us YC-fundees or YC-wannabe-fundees haven't heard of them and wouldn't care if we did.)
