Well you are ignoring half of the potential problem.
Even smart people have different opinions: what if an applicant thinks someone you chose to read their application is naive (or worse, an idiot)?
Also seems just plain fair that applicants be aware of their audience.
- abossy 17y agoDo you honestly feel PG and co. are incapable of selecting people that aren't naive nor idiots?
- jpwagner 17y agoNot sure if you did it on purpose, but your double negative is the converse of my sentiment. Do I think YC is capable of making poor selections?...Absolutely.
- swombat 17y agoCapable? sure. Likely? no. YC makes funding decisions after a few short interviews and an application, and they seem to do pretty well with those. I would imagine that after working with some founders for months, they have zero likelihood of selecting a naive idiot.
