The following question was from the audience: What do you think about other incubators such as Techstars?
Slightly annoyed. It is like how JK Rowling would feel if someone wrote book called Henry Potter. One use is that it tells us when we have made mistakes and passed on good applicants. So if it was not for other incubators, Y Combinator would never know that they turned down successful start up.

I have to say I’m a little disappointed in Paul. Historical tidbit: Foodzie didn’t apply to Y-Combinator.
