It seems that perhaps what is needed is a YC of education that provides small grants and helps with follow-on investment once those small bets pay dividends.
Education is fundamentally pretty simple, you need a room, a teacher, and a few dollars worth of paper. Seems like the ideal thing for a startup. Fundamentally once you teach a person basic literacy and basic numeracy they can spend the rest of their life teaching themselves.
