It was brought up in a past discussion that TechStars are not exclusively seeding-stage and have close ties to VCs, which is something to be very wary about. If you take a look at their application, it's near-idenical to Y Comb's. If they can't be bothered to write their own _app_, I'm not convinced that their program is anywhere near well thought-out.

Plus, YC understands young hackers and the startup community like no other group of individuals I've ever come across. We're solely focused on applying to them as far as seed funding goes.
