yes they are keeping the market efficient. and if people investing in "vice" type companies are amoral blood suckers, what about people that work for casinos, beer companies, tobacco companies? the delivery guys? the brew masters? what

"An investor tries to fund (as far as they can tell) all the good startups that approach them." Is this your strategy with YC? There has to be some limit (x) on the number (n) of companies you can take on, making YC a x/n for 5000 + 5000fo

i'm not sure if i agree with you or if i think the exact opposite is true (i.e. if it integrates with facebook i'm not sure anyone outside of the TC50K would use it)... cool idea though. the massive images on the first page are a little st

My impression is that techcrunch et al. have increased the awareness of YC lately...unclear if YC pr is responsible for the increased coverage or if it is viral/result of YC companies doing well... How is YC not a fund? No LPs?

haven't you seen good will hunting?! seriously though, one dedicated teacher at bhcc might give you way more than all the TAs you get at harvard. of course the same student that gets a lot out of bhcc would probably soak even more out of h

advice: taken we increased the line spacing, toned down some of the colors to make them easier on the eyes, and fixed the job board iframe headers. thanks for all the great feedback!
