I loved it when they started including non-profits, and I'm loving that they're including biotech/medical now. They (Gingko/Glowing Plant/Bikanta) sound insane and very risky, which is exactly the ideas the best incubator in the world should be funding.
Casual observation, none of the above describe themselves as "X for Y".

- napoleoncomplex 12y agoSorry for the confusion, I meant from the 3 biotechs I mentioned. There's plenty of X for Y among the others, you're right.
- TheMakeA 12y agoHonest question: Is $120k really that big of a risk when you're already giving away money for free to non-profits?
- napoleoncomplex 12y agoIt isn't, but the abundance of funding cash everywhere hasn't really translated into more insane (technically) ideas being funded lately, YC or elsewhere. At least that's been my impression, and it feels like YC is changing that with their recent batches.
- pinkyand 12y agoI don't know. Could it be that rich angels are already investing small amounts of money into crazy tech startups ,but nobody hears about that ?
