You have to know someone to get on the radar of even something small like Ycombinator. I agree with them that once you're on their radar, better ideas percolate, but a lot of people can't get their time of day because they don't have the pre-existing relationships.
That's false. The hardest part of being a YC partner is reading applications. If everything were based on intros and relationships, it would be trivial.
