It has less to do with YC and more to do with the nature of success, network and accumulation of resources. What it has to do with the topic is that it has created an inequality where YC companies have an advantage through access to the network. You just have to look at OpenAI access model to understand how this creates a two tier environment. YC alum can pick up the phone and have access them same day just to fuck around and potentially make a new unicorn business. People on the outside? Good luck. Yes I understand that OpenAI isn’t a YC company but the same will apply to YC companies... OpenAI was just my personal most recent experience.
