@paulg it's interesting, though, that those on the margin often times need to be blessed by insiders before getting anywhere meaningful
@ChrisSaad That matters less, and is more inevitable, than they think though.

@paulg isn't that YC's whole model though? Are you saying if it wouldn't be YC, it would be someone else - it's inevitable? -
@ChrisSaad YC's model is to help startups, not bless them. And we started as outsiders; we only became insiders by helping them well.
