- vishalzone2002 12y agoI agree. I am just saying if it clicks my idea bulb, its probably tough (still possible) to build it.
- k__ 12y agoMaybe it's a marketing stunt? I mean, they're in for the money, so they have to fund stuff, that pays out later. BUT they have to appease their critics, who say "all you fund is the next snapchat!!". With this list, they can say "Oh we wanted to cure cancer, the people who wanted funding for it just got no skills!"
- icebraining 12y agoThey actually already have startups working on cancer, like Bikanta (YC S14).
- vishalzone2002 12y agoYes their last batch startups were targeting pretty serious problems. I remember 2 of them were around nuclear energy so definitely relevant to the list.
