Comment on What if Obama gave Y Combinator 40 Billion Dollarsparent

Comments

Ask anyone who's ever submitted a YC application (and been rejected!) if they think that the selection process is in any way trivial.

YC invests in 40-45 of the best companies of thousands that apply. Even trying to imagine a selection process that chooses 40Bn worth of YC companies makes my brain hurt.

I think that no matter how hard you tried to stand it up, it would flatten out like warm jello to "anyone who writes a few coherent sentences on the application gets some cash".
