Yeah, that confused me. Sam says he wants to help more people who wouldn't usually start startups, start startups, and he says that YC is the best way to do that. I very much doubt that people who aren't determined to start a startup would get into YC (he says so himself when he states that YC looks for determined founders).
- edmack 13y agoThere are two separate parts to this: One is admitting people you deem most likely to succeed. The second is reaching out, enthusing and supporting people from a wide range of backgrounds so that they apply and know how to be successful. This is a good approach, the alternative is positive discrimination.
