As time goes on, YC will continue to attract the best people in the valley (both founders and investors). It's a talent singularity.

- hamhamed 12y agoIt's becoming a powerhouse and that usually causes problem in the long run if the chemistry isn't present. Or say the need to be hungry enough to attain goals (just like a strong sports team losing against a lower tier team, aka the underdog). Yes, surrounding yourself with smart people is great, but surrounding yourself with hungry people is another. Otherwise, good luck and more success to YC!
- mrdrozdov 12y agoGreat advice. A well fed person can't understand a hungry one.
- nightski 12y agoAttract the best people for building YC companies, yes. Although that is sort of a self fulfilling prophecy. There is so much amazing talent outside of YC or even SV it is incredible. Just have to know where to look.
